Ye Wuhai walked on the edge of the Yellow River and stared at the surging waves and turbid water, as though his heart and emotions had all gone down the drain; his broken heart, no one knew where it would flow to. Perhaps his love could no longer find a harbor to dock in, but he had to let it go.

He had been walking along the southern shore of the Yellow River for a very long time. It was a long distance away, and he did not feel the slightest tiredness from his broken heart. In the distance, it was still there. Floating in the clouds of his hometown, the love of his hometown …

"Hahaha... Catch her! Catch her! Don't let her run away. "

After a few moments, the place returned to silence.

Ye Wuhai's anger had not faded as he stood at the center of the corpses, staring at the gradually disappearing bandits with hatred. Only then did he feel a sense of gratification. Thus, he wiped off the blood on the corpse's sword before returning it to its sheath. He then turned around to leave …

However, at this moment, he suddenly saw the woman who was still unconscious under the bandit. He couldn't help but feel a bit of guilt. He blamed his actions for being too quick and ruthless. He actually chopped off the bandit's head in anger. Blood splashed all over his face, scaring the weak girl. Thus, he walked over, squatted down, and pulled the corpse away with one hand as he gently wiped off the blood stains on her chest.

Come to think of it, Ye Wuhai had a careful look at the woman's face, eyebrows, eyes … He actually realised that this girl looked like the Shi Xiaomei that he was reminiscing about! Actually, this was only a misconception on his part; Shi Xiaomei, perhaps he would never be able to see her again in his entire life. It was also no wonder that if a compassionate man longed for a girl, he would not be able to avoid a misconception and feel human emotion when he saw another girl who was naturally similar to him. Otherwise, wouldn't he be a heartless plant? Moreover, the lady in front of him was similar to Shi Xiaomei?

A feeling of pity unconsciously arose within his heart. Ye Wuhai quickly pressed on a few acupoints on her chest, allowing her to slowly wake up.

"Ah —" The woman opened her eyes and exclaimed, "Scram! Get lost! Bandits! "… Rogue! …"

At this time, Ye Wuhai held onto her struggling wrist and said calmly: "Miss! Don't be afraid, I'm not a rogue, I'm not a bandit, I saved you. Real bandits and rogues, either dead or fleeing, you don't have to be afraid. "

When the girl heard his sincere words, she stopped tearing and screaming. She only glanced at the young man in front of her before turning around and crying, "Father — Mother —"

Following that, she could no longer hear her cries. She could only burst into tears …

Ye Wuhai straightened his body and stood by her side. After listening for a long time, his tears gradually turned into broken sobs …

"Lady! Don't be too sad. People can't be revived. Even though your family is dead, you still managed to take back your life.

However, the woman seemed to have heard nothing and stopped sobbing. She only stared blankly at the blood stains on the ground … Suddenly, she grabbed the blood blade on the ground and ruthlessly slashed at her neck!

Ye Wuhai's hands were sharp, he grabbed the blade and threw it to the side.

"Let me die!" Let me die! "Why did you stop me?" The woman was crying non-stop in Ye Wuhai's arms.

"Calm down!" Why die? And why should I save you? If you die like this, how can you face your dead parents? How can you repay the kindness of having your parents raise you for so many years? Father and mother died tragically. If you don't bury them properly, how are you going to avenge their deaths? It makes my heart ache! You should live well! "

The woman was rendered speechless by Ye Wuhai's indignant words, and once again covered her face and cried. How can a weak girl like me avenge my parents? Since my family was gone, why not just let me die! "Woo — woo — woo —"

"Miss!" Ye Wuhai couldn't help but bend over to wipe the tears off her face, patiently persuading her, "You must believe that there are many good people in this world, and there will always be people who will help you escape from this sea of suffering. To put it bluntly, you and I have only met by chance, but I have already avenged you. Now, what you should do is to show your filial piety and properly bury this old man! "

It was whatever that Ye Wuhai did not say, but when he said till here, the woman was even more upset.

"Ahem!" Girl! "Say something, where are you going, who's the person with the surname and where are you going?"

Slowly, the girl choked with emotions and replied: "Father Yuan Shichang, I am his only daughter, Yuan Xiaomei. I followed my father from the west of the river. I want to go to Jinling in the south to settle down. "Unexpectedly, at this point …"

After saying that, Yuan Xiaomei couldn't stop sobbing …

"Then... So if your family wants to go to Jinling, you have to rely on a relative or friend, right? " Ye Wuhai asked.

"Yes!" "He's going to join my uncle, Yuan Shirong, who is a county magistrate in Jiangning!"

"En! …" Ye Wuhai silently remembered it in his heart. He knew in his heart that this Miss Yuan was alone and penniless. Her parents had not been buried, let alone travelling thousands of miles to Jinling Jiangning County. Pitifully, "saving a man's life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda." But, "If you are a good man, you must do it to the end; send him home, send him to heaven." How could he stop halfway? Besides, the world was in chaos. It was difficult for a woman to walk on her own and she could not be protected! After some thought, he finally said resolutely, "Miss Yuan! "If you trust me, I can send you to Jiangning for a thousand miles!"

Hearing that, Yuan Xiaomei finally raised her head and looked at Ye Wuhai, with tears flashing from her eyes, she nodded her head silently.

However, right at this moment, Ye Wuhai suddenly saw a figure that looked like a head leading a group of yamen runners towards him.

In a moment, the group of yamen runners surrounded Ye Wuhai and Yuan Xiaomei. The leader of the group immediately pointed at Ye Wuhai and bellowed, "Seize him!"

Once the order was given, all the yamen runners swarmed forward.

Seeing that, Ye Wuhai immediately shouted: "Wait! May I ask sire, what crime did I commit and why did you capture me? "

"Why... Someone has accused you of murder here, and there are evidence and evidence on the scene. Could it be false? "

"NO!" He was a good man, a good man. Don't capture her! " Yuan Xiaomei could not help but exclaim.

"Miss Yuan!" Don't be afraid, "Ye Wuhai said with a smile instead," They won't be able to catch me. "

"Can't catch you?" "The truth is right in front of you, and you still dare to quibble?"

"Impudent!" Do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like that? As a constable, instead of finding out the truth and not capturing the real murderer, you accuse the good man. "To tell you the truth, the Son of Heaven sent me to investigate people like you."

"Ah!..." That head couldn't help but exclaim, "Who the hell are you?"

"Humph!" See for yourself! " With that, Ye Wuhai revealed a "gold medal" to the constable. The words "Order of Proclamation of Heaven" were engraved on it, glittering with golden light.

Immediately, all of them panicked as they knelt down and said, "This lowly one has offended you, please forgive me."

"No need! Please rise! "

"Thank you, master!"

"Which county do you belong to?"

"Milord!" "My surname is Cai, my name is Wen Cheng, I am a county magistrate of River Yin County!"

"Hm!" As a county magistrate, your loyalty to your duties is commendable. However, I want to warn you, all things must be seen with your eyes, do not believe the slanderous words of the villain lightly. "

"Yes!" Yes! "Thank you for your teachings, I will definitely engrave your words in my heart."

"To tell you the truth! My surname is Ya, and my name is harmless. I have come by this place by chance today, and when I see injustice in my journey, I draw my sword to assist you. This is Miss Yuan. Her parents have been killed by bandits. I was so angry that I killed a few bandits, but they deserved to die. "

"Yay Lord is right, those who commit crimes should pay with their lives. Besides, the Yay Lord has the gold medal in his hands, he follows the orders of the heavens and travels the world. Everything has the power to end a battle or not, and I, Cai, have been impulsive, listening to the words of a villain, almost grabbing onto a good person, and am deeply ashamed of myself. If there is anything that Yay Lord can help with, please instruct me. "

"Good!" Officer Cai, this is exactly what I meant. Please clean up the battlefield with your subordinates and help me bury Miss Yuan's parents properly. "

"Yes sir!"

Thus, with the help of Officer Cai and the other constables, Ye Wuhai and Yuan Xiaomei separated the corpses of the Yuan Family members and bandits. They also bought two coffins and buried Yuan Xiaomei's parents on the riverbank.

"Miss Yuan!" Ye Wuhai looked at Yuan Xiaomei who was still kneeling in front of her filial son's grave and remained silent, and said: "It's getting late, we should get going."

However, Yuan Xiaomei did not immediately reply. After pausing for a while, she quietly said: "Brother Ya! "Thank you for your kind intentions. I think I won't go to Jiangning now. I want to go back to my hometown in Hexi."

"Why? …" Ye Wuhai didn't think that she would say such words, and said in shock, "Go back to your hometown? But since both your parents died and the Tian Residence was sold, how are you going to live when you go back? "

"I don't know!"

"The only way is to go to the Nanjiang River and find your uncle. I believe he will take good care of you." Why aren't you talking? Are you afraid of implicating me? What makes you think that? I, Ye Wuhai, am able to do what I have said; furthermore, I have a task to do on this Southern Patrol, I can even pass through my old home's Xuzhou and send you all the way to Jiangning, how could you implicate me? Rest assured! "

"Is that really true?" Yuan Xiaomei could not help but look up at Ye Wuhai.

"It's like this. Don't think so much. Let's hurry up and go. "

"Oh!" Yuan Xiaomei replied softly, then took a deep look at her parents' tomb, and quietly stood up.

Thus, Ye Wuhai helped Yuan Xiaomei up into the saddle and took the reins to walk away …

Gradually, a dark horse carrying a white-clothed female was escorted by a blue-clothed swordsman to the banks of the Yellow River.

"Master Dharma Master, I have already reported that your beloved disciple Murong Tianshui, who is also known as wuxiaozhuan Ye Wuhai, is traveling south alone. Last time, the devil's two guns could not kill him; this time, I do not know if you will do it or I will do it. "

"What do you think? Is there a need for me to do such a small thing myself? "

"Grandmaster Dharma, please do not take offense!" You've told me before that you had a good reason to keep this apprentice, and you haven't revealed our true identities or plans to him. However, ever since Demon Waves, Ye Wuhai, and I fought a bloody battle in An Ling, I think that he already knew everything about us like the back of his hand. Furthermore, you killed so many security guards at the Xianyang Bridge, I believe he will never recognize you as his master again. Is it not up to you to decide whether this disciple of yours is good or not, and how you use it? As your disciple, how could I dare to make the decision? "

"Humph!" How dare he conceal his true identity from me? He's already a government official, and he wants to work with the imperial guards to deal with us? Delusion!... Hunting along the way! I don't believe that he can escape from my clutches alone. "

Luoyang. It was once the second most prosperous city in the Central Plains, and was named as the "Yang Name" located in the north of the Luo River. From generation to generation, it had been branded with imprints that were eternally difficult to erase. Whether it was the capital, the divine capital, or even the accompanying capital, they had all walked or even trampled over it brilliantly. It should be said that Luoyang City was the central hub of politics, economics, culture and military in the Central Plains. "The rise and fall of many events in the past and present all depend on Luoyang not to leave!" She had been in the capital of several dynasties, but once the dynasties changed, it was "the dead dynasties that would destroy their capital." It was easy to imagine how many times she had experienced the cleansing and torture of historical wars, and how many times the river of history had caused her to sink and sink! It was no wonder why someone called him "Luoyang!" Sunset! " For "the place where the sun set," it seemed to say, "the place where the old dynasty sank." From this, it could be seen that the Luoyang, a city that had gone through the ups and downs of Spring and Autumn, was able to condense the history of Central Plains's China. In the eyes of the ambitious people of the world, in the chaotic world of hoodlums, how they wished that it could peacefully pass these difficult years.

At this time, Ye Wuhai, who was walking on a horse, looked at the ancient city's Luoyang who he had passed by a few times. His heart broke the silence and he said to Yuan Xiaomei: "Miss Yuan, have you come to this city before?"

"I've been here before. I can't remember clearly."

"Then you must have come here when you were young. But now, it was completely different. Do you think so? "

"It is indeed a bit …"

"Let me tell you the story of Luoyang City so that you won't feel depressed."

Hearing Ye Wuhai's good intentions, Yuan Xiaomei's heart had a kind of indescribable gratitude, as she silently nodded.

Therefore, Ye Wuhai said thoughtfully: "The Luoyang's story is really too many, I'm afraid that it will be hard to tell all of it in my lifetime. Someone once said, "Luoyang, the setting sun, is where the sun sets." Actually, it's not like there's no reason to it. "

"Is that so? How could this make sense? " As expected, Yuan Xiaomei couldn't help but ask him.

"This is because Luoyang City once had a few seasons, a few sunsets. It was precisely the setting sun that was reflecting its story. In the far reaches of Zhou Dynasty, the nine cauldrons symbolizing the power of the King had left Luoyan; the first king of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Ping, had founded the Dongdu, Luoyi; the Eastern Zhou revered the King, Ji Xing, had moved his capital here, and this place had become the imperial city of the Eastern Zhou; the Western Han Dynasty, where Liu Bang had ascended to the throne, the initial Luoyang, and then moved to Chang'an. After a period of decline, Liu Xiu had returned to the Eastern Han Dynasty, which would eventually become the Luoyang. Later, Cao Cao Cao's son, Cao Pi, would become the emperor on behalf of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which would eventually become the capital. There were also the Western Jin, Northern Wei Dynasty, Zuangdi Emperor Yang Guang and Tang Wu Zetian who moved to the Great Zhou Empire. Not only that, the rising and falling of Luoyang City had also served as a companion for the Western Han King Mang, the current Daliang and the Jin Nation. These dynasties could be said to be the period of time that Huang Ji had spent in Luoyang City. However, since ancient times, dynasties have changed, and there are oddities of 'old dynasties, the capital must be destroyed', thus, Luoyang City is also full of wounds from the war, to this day.

Yuan Xiaomei listened to Ye Wuhai's harmless narration, her heart could not help but become more cheerful, as he understood the meaning behind his words. However, she did not speak and continued to listen to Young Master Ye's story.

"Now that I think about it, this is my fourth time passing through Luoyang. Although the interval was very short, it was always very different here. And it can produce all sorts of emotions. What his predecessors have said is right, 'Our friends and relatives in Luoyang are asking for it, the heart of ice is in the jade pot'. Every time I walked past this place, I felt an indescribable chill in my heart. I keep having the feeling that the Luoyang City in this chaotic world is already three feet deep in ice, and not just cold in one day. " I wonder how Miss Yuan is feeling right now? "

When Yuan Xiaomei heard Young Master Ye ask her questions, how could she not express her opinion? Out of politeness, she replied in a low voice: "With Young Master Ye by my side telling me stories, no matter how cold it is, I still feel infinitely warm!"

Hearing Yuan Xiaomei's words from the bottom of her heart, Ye Wuhai finally felt that he could pull out the door to her heart and gradually drive away the sorrow and worry in her heart. Following that, he smiled at Lady Yuan who was riding on the saddle and said, "Miss Yuan, if I call you Xiaomei, would that be possible?"

"Of course. That's my name. "

"You still don't quite understand me. Because every time I mention the word Xiao Mei, I can't help but think of my old Shi Xiaomei. She has the same beauty as you, and no matter if it's her face or her figure, she is extremely similar to you. "

Yuan Xiaomei looked at Young Master Ye's slightly gloomy expression. As a woman at the early stages of her youth, she could already see through and understand his mood. Because women have delicate emotions, they are best at observing and sensing men. Relying on her cleverness, Yuan Xiaomei could already imagine that the Young Master Ye had once suffered an emotional trauma, which was why he expressed her feelings to her in such a way. She had not expected that such a handsome and loyal young man would be tired of love. In the past few days, it was him who had always been by her side, comforting her and protecting her. He had always been a kind and generous man, how could he tell that this Young Master Xiao Yao had hidden his feelings of loss? But how deep was the wound in his soul? A woman's love rose involuntarily from the bottom of Yuan Xiaomei's heart.

"Then how is she now?" Yuan Xiaomei asked in concern.

"Now..." Ye Wuhai pondered as he looked ahead, "She has already gone far away, and may never return."

These words, were indeed not wrong by Yuan Xiaomei. She went straight to the point and asked him, "Then there must be something going on between you two, and it was only because she felt guilty that she avoided you."

Hearing this, Ye Wuhai immediately felt very surprised, he never thought that this Miss Yuan would be able to unravel the unhappiness lingering in the depths of his heart. He couldn't help but look at Yuan Xiaomei and said, "These matters are already too fleeting, who would still feel guilty about it? Since she avoided me and didn't want to see me, I shouldn't think about her anymore, much less worry and feel guilty. 'Back then, I refused to marry into the East Wind, but for no reason, I was misled by the West Wind.' 'In the face of heartlessness, where is the grass on the horizon? ' Emotion cannot be forced, it should be left to its own devices. Because in this respect, I have already spent a lot of time, energy and feelings for her, but in the end, in the end, there is nothing. There's a saying that goes, "Since ancient times, many emotions have harmed youths. These words are indeed true."

"Now that you have seen through the truth of this matter, I believe you already have a plan. You will not repeat the same mistake."

"You're quite right. I can never think about old love again. I should use it on a single person, because she is the best person I've ever found. "

"What's her name?"

"Her name is Ruan Xiaofeng, and she's my confidant in times of trouble."

"Since she is your confidant in trouble, it should be said that no one, no emotion, can sever the bonds between you."

"Yes, Ruan Xiaofeng and I have sworn an alliance to the heavens, and have the same heart forever. From today onwards, everything in the outside world will no longer interfere with our lives." With that said, Ye Wuhai passionately looked forward to the journey. However, what happened next surprised him.

Master Fa Sen, who was holding a walking stick with a dragon's head, came from the side and blocked their way.

"Disciple, where are you going?"

Hearing this cunning old buddha asking about this, and hearing this martial arts scum acting as if nothing had happened, Ye Wuhai felt that his intentions were even more unpredictable. He didn't know what kind of medicine this old buddha was trying to sell. However, he quickly regained his composure. Because he believed that a hot-blooded man was not afraid of everything; he walked straight, he did things straight, and he was afraid of evil? Since he was still courteous and asked him questions, as long as he spoke truthfully and sincerely, even if it was the demons, what could they do to him? Thus, he truthfully replied to Master Fa Sen, "This young lady met with a calamity on the road, so I wish to escort her to Jiangnan to settle down."

"Amitabha!" Excellent! Excellent! In order to help others, aren't you afraid of delaying your duties? " Farson said sarcastically.

Ye Wuhai did not mind his attitude, and continued to speak honestly, "Master once told me that the Buddha family is benevolent, doing good deeds and doing good deeds in front of others. As your disciple, how can I just stand by and watch you die? "

"Hahaha!" You even admitted that you are my disciple, then why did you enter the official power to oppose me? "

"Master's words are wrong. Disciple only wants to oppose all evil and evil, and not against a certain someone. There are some things I just want to see, and I don't believe in rumors. Someone said that you killed a few of the security guards at the Xianyang Bridge. I don't believe that. However, if it really is you, then I will still enforce the law impartially. "

"Hahaha!" You are still the same personality, and this old monk admires you! Admiration! But when you first met me four years ago and became my disciple, why did you lie and hide your real name from me?

"Actually, I already explained it at that time. I was envious of Tian Chuan's water colors, so I chose to call him Murong Tianshui. This name is just a code name for a person, it's not important what it's called. What's important is a person's character and morals. "

"Hm!" You're right. But you didn't tell me that you are the brother of 'Flying Dragon' Ye Jinfeng. "

"Even though I didn't say it out loud, didn't Master still know about it?"

"However, you have concealed the truth of the matter. There is absolutely nothing good between us. You better take care of yourself!" With that, Master Fa Sen took his crutch and left.
