It was not that Jin Lian did not want to run, but when she saw more and more people downstairs, she already knew that she should not offend someone.

However, she was even more afraid of Jiang Xiaobai. A man who could easily knock down four people with a straight saber was also a man that she couldn't afford to offend.

Therefore, she didn't dare to move or speak. She could only curl up in a corner and pray that all of this was just a dream.

"Play a song?" Jin Lian trembled as she stood up and asked: "Master, what do you want to hear?"

"Whatever, whatever you know will work. Why not Eighteen?" "What the heck!" Jiang Xiaobai thought of an ancient song, but found it embarrassing to say it.

But Jin Lian seemed to understand, she took off her Hu Qin and started babbling.

It was supposed to be a fast tune, but because of the tense distance between them, his fingers had become deformed and turned into a loud noise.

Jiang Xiaobai did not mind, he continued to hide behind the window to observe the situation outside.

There were more and more people, and there were more than two hundred of them. The place was packed and silent.

Some of them were holding ordinary sabers, some held long spears, and some even held bows and arrows.

This wasn't some local ruffian, this was clearly a well-organized and well-trained army.

It was too unbelievable. The defending troops of Yizhou City only numbered three to four hundred and the residents of the city numbered less than four to five thousand. Yet, a mysterious force that consisted of two groups of people suddenly appeared.

The answer was quickly revealed as a group of bailiffs rushed out from the County Yamen. They surrounded a man dressed in the clothes of a Song Dynasty official and rushed to Fatty Fang's side.

"Master Fang, what's going on?" The man in the uniform curtsied.

Fatty Fang said in a deep voice: "Liu County Order, the Yizhou City have mixed with the spies, do you not know about it?"

So this is the Liu County Order, Jiang Xiaobai could not help but take a few more glances.

Liu County Order was in his early forties, with a fair complexion and a frail body, like a scholar who couldn't even hold a chicken.

"How many people are there?" Liu County Order looked at Jiang Xiaobai who was behind the window in shock.

Now that the Liao Kingdom had been destroyed and the war had stopped for more than half a year, even though this place was a Fringe City, Jin Song was an ally.

"Just him alone!" Fatty Fang pointed at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "This man is very skilled, all four of my guards were defeated by him empty-handed."

"There's actually such a thing?" Liu County Order revealed an astonished expression, and said: "Master Fang, this official has a few strong men under his command.

Fatty Fang laughed: "It's just a small matter, there's no need for Liu County Order to worry, you just need to calm the citizens, and don't let everyone panic."

The two were talking at a distance of around twenty to thirty meters, and their voices were lowered, so they thought Jiang Xiaobai wouldn't be able to hear them.

But how would they know that Jiang Xiaobai had already heard the contents of their conversation so clearly?

Who would have thought that Fatty Fang was an official, and was even of a higher rank than the Liu County Order.

What does Yizhou City have an official that's bigger than the county magistrate mean, what does this official mean by pretending to be a medicine merchant? His subordinates are obviously stronger than the elites of the Liu County Order.

It was too strange. It made him look like a Imperial Secret Service guard.

"Bam!" Suddenly, a string snapped.

Jin Lian stood up in fear, and said: "Master, I am clumsy, and there is a guqin downstairs, how about you let me go downstairs to get it?"

Jin Lian looked at Jiang Xiaobai eagerly. He was not going to grab Hu Qin, but rather take the chance to run away.

There was a high possibility of a serious conflict coming on, leaving a weak girl by his side would harm her. Jiang Xiaobai laughed and said: "Quickly go down, find a place to hide!"

"Thank you for agreeing!" Jin Lian was relieved from the burden and bowed deeply towards Jiang Xiaobai, then anxiously opened the door.

"Bam!" Just as the door opened slightly, a streak of white light flew in and struck right on Jin Lian's left shoulder.

Ah!" The golden lotus gave a pitiful cry as it fell back.

"Jin Lian!" Jiang Xiaobai was shocked, he immediately rushed forward, his left hand wrapped around Jin Lian's waist, his right leg kicked out, he closed the door.

Jiang Xiaobai lowered his head and saw that Jin Lian's left shoulder was nailed onto by a small knife that was about three inches long and two fingers wide.

The heck, a martial arts master had appeared! He even used a flying dart!

"Bang, bang, bang …" While he was lost in thought, he heard a burst of rapid shooting sounds.

A dozen or so carved arrows whistled through the air, bringing death with them as they flew. The tail feathers of the arrows were trembling non-stop as they were inserted into the frames of the doors and windows.

"Listen up, I order you to surrender within three breaths, or you will be killed without mercy!" Dozens of meters away, Fatty Fang shouted.

Did they have to fight like this? Shouldn't they shout at each other to negotiate? They shouldn't play according to the rules!

"Master, am I going to die?" Jin Lian was in so much pain that she started to cry.

Jiang Xiaobai felt extremely guilty. He had only wanted to enjoy himself for a moment, but he had actually implicated an innocent girl.

It flew to a point that it was obvious that it came from the opposite Moon Gate. After flying for another twenty meters, it had actually penetrated half an inch. One could tell that the person who used the flying dagger had a very strong wrist strength.

"Jin Lian, I'm sorry!" Jiang Xiaobai reached out his right hand, wanting to pull the flying knife out.

Ah!" Just as her hand touched the ground, the golden lotus cried out miserably in pain.

Jiang Xiaobai was so scared that he immediately retracted his hands and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

He looked at Jiang Xiaobai blankly for a few seconds, then suddenly said something strange: "Even if I die, it's worth it!"

"What?"

"Ever since Jin Lian was young, no one has ever cared so much about him before!" Jin Lian forced out a smile, and said: "Even though Jin Lian doesn't know who you are, nor why you have come to Yi Zhou, you have never been inferior to me, and have even protected me. I am already very satisfied."

Jiang Xiaobai's nose started to sour. He never thought that the ancient brothels girl would be so pitiful. Even if others had treated her even slightly better, they would already be moved to the point of not being afraid of death.

"You definitely won't die!" At that moment, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly made a decision.

Outside the window, Fatty Fang had already raised two fingers, meaning that after two breaths of time, when he raised his third finger, dozens of archer would shoot arrows.

This time, it was not aimed at the window frame or the door, but directly at him.

In such a small space, even Jiang Xiaobai did not dare to guarantee that he would be spared, let alone Jin Lian.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly bent down and carried Jin Lian, he stepped forward and stood in front of the window sill, his left hand grabbing onto the window sill, he then lowered his head and gently said to Jin Lian: "Now, I appoint you as the deputy sect leader of the eighth Portal of Space-time!"

"What?" Jin Lian was baffled.

"You'll know very soon!" Jiang Xiaobai slightly smiled, he exerted strength in his right arm and shouted at the same time: "Open the door!"
