Chapter 33 The Killer
It was still dark when Gu Jue opened his eyes. The room was dark and the candles had burned out.
When he woke up, he was still in Yu Chi's arms, and Yu Chi's hand was still on his back.
Forget it, he was a hooligan again last night.
...
The snow stopped today. Gu Jue was busy packing up. When it was time to leave, he took the fox fur coat and put it on Yu Chi. The two went downstairs to meet Yan Sui and the others.
Since they were going to Yucheng, it wouldn't be a bad thing to have more
people with them. After traveling together all the way, Yan Sui could see that Yu Chi and Gu Jue didn't look like a master and a guard.
He had been to so many places, but he had never seen a master buy candy cakes and candied haws for his guards.
Yu Chi seemed to be somewhat tolerant of Gu Jue.
Not like master and servant, but more like, he couldn't describe it, anyway, the two of them looked a little ambiguous.
He didn't understand, but the little junior sister seemed to understand. She smiled
foolishly at Yu Chi and Gu Jue every day.
When Yan Sui asked her, she shook her head in a mysterious way.
"Senior brother, the secret must not be revealed~"
...
After a few days of journey, they were finally going to Yucheng.
"Go ahead and cross the river."
As soon as Yan Sui finished speaking, Gu Jue took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and protected Yu Chi behind him in a protective posture.
"There are people."
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, many people appeared in the surrounding bushes.
All masked, holding weapons in their hands, they rushed towards them.
Seven people were scattered, a sword pointed directly at Yu Chi's neck, Yu Chi tilted his head back and dodged it nonchalantly.
Maybe he felt that he had no internal strength, so he had only one killer here.
Gu Jue picked up a branch at his feet and started fighting with him.
This man is not easy to deal with.
Those who faced him were shocked. It was obviously just a branch, but the sword energy was surging and very powerful. Every move was full of momentum and difficult to resist.
Gu Jue solved it quickly.
Just when the killer stabbed Yu Chi's heart with a sword.
He was pierced through the chest by Gu Jue with a branch, and died before a drop of blood splashed on Yu Chi.
Yu Chi was not surprised, and smiled as he glanced at the corpse on the ground and Gu Jue who was standing in front of him without even breathing.
Gu Jue was a little angry. When the killer drew his sword just now, this man didn't even dodge.
When he saw it, his heart almost jumped out of his chest, fearing that he would be a step late.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Life and death are normal, and besides, don't you still have you?"
"What if I don't come?"
Yu Chi can be a professional in lighting Gu Jue.
Yu Chi squatted down to check the body of the killer. Gu Jue lowered his eyes and saw his slender fingers probing the body.
"Then you can collect the body for me."
Yu Chi took out a piece of iron from the body.
Gu Jue curiously leaned his head over here, but the sign was pinched by Yu Chi. He couldn't see it clearly, only saw a moon.
Yu Chi raised his eyes and looked at him.
"Aren't you going to help your good friend? He looks like he's about to be beaten to death."
Gu Jue was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw Yan Sui was surrounded by several assassins, and the situation was gradually becoming disadvantageous.
He picked up a curved knife next to him and went over to help.
These assassins were obviously coming for Yan Sui. There were not many assassins around other people, except Yan Sui.
He killed one with one sword, dispersing some of the killers and giving Yan Sui a break. He
finally arrested one, and just when Yan Sui was about to ask something, the killer had already vomited blood and died.
Several people stood together. Except for Yu Chi Gu Jue, the others were more or less a little bit wolfish and had minor injuries.
The junior sister handed Yan Sui a sign, the same as the one Yu Chi had just touched. This time Gu Jue saw it clearly.
The iron sign was engraved with the words Ji Yue.
"Ji Yue Pavilion."
Ji Yue Pavilion is a killer organization that has developed in the past two years, and it seems that it was established not long ago.
But they are very powerful. After the destruction of Qiongyu Tower, Jiyue Pavilion developed rapidly. Together with another killer organization, Dark Night, they are the two most famous killer organizations in the martial arts world.
"Someone bought your life from Jiyue Pavilion?"
This was the first time that Gu Jue encountered such a situation.
Yan Sui shook his head. He didn't seem to have offended anyone. Who would go to Jiyue Pavilion to buy his life?
"Not from Jiyue Pavilion."
Yu Chi threw the sign to the ground. In addition to the two words Jiyue on the iron sign, there were also complex patterns engraved around it.
"First, Jiyue Pavilion is good at using swords. Second, the pattern on it."
After hearing what Yu Chi said, several people looked at the sign. After looking at it for a long time, they could not see any problem with the pattern.
"The sign of Jiyue Pavilion is engraved with black mandala."
Yan Sui looked carefully. If Yu Chi hadn't said it, he would not have noticed that the sign was indeed not engraved with black mandala.
This is not a secret. The flower symbolizing Jiyue Pavilion is black mandala. This is acknowledged by Jiyue Pavilion.
The black mandala was used for the connection when entrusting Jiyue Pavilion.
It foreshadows death and despair.
And he remembered that his brother told him that the sign of Jiyue Pavilion was pure silver.
This iron sign is indeed not Jiyue Pavilion.
For a moment, they couldn't figure out who it was.
The most important thing was to get to Yucheng as soon as possible.
They sped up and entered Yucheng at dusk.
Yu Chi and Gu Jue left with Yan Sui.
There is a difference between Jianghu knights and sect disciples.
Sect disciples mostly represent a sect and have invitation letters, and the Wulin Alliance will arrange accommodation for them.
Jianghu knights have no sect or sect, so they can only find an inn in the city to stay.
The Wulin Conference was held in a large open space in the middle of Yucheng. Yu Chi and Gu Jue found an inn that was relatively close to stay.
"One of the upper rooms."
There were still seven days before the Wulin Conference, so there were not many people.
Yu Chi and Gu Jue were both outstanding in appearance, and they attracted a lot of attention when they appeared in the inn.
The shopkeeper saw that there was nothing to do at the moment, so he personally led them upstairs.
"Go up and put the things away and come back down."
Yu Chi found an empty table and sat down. Gu Jue nodded and followed the others.
The waiter brought Yu Chi a pot of tea and poured it for him.
"What would you like to eat, sir?"
"A few of your signature dishes."
The waiter replied and left.
Yu Chi had just taken a sip of tea when someone sat opposite him and poured himself a cup of tea.
Yu Chi looked up and saw an acquaintance.
"Jiang Xu."
"I haven't seen Doctor Yu Chi for a long time. I didn't expect to meet him here."
The boy opposite smiled, and there was a dark-faced uncle standing behind him.
The uncle slapped Jiang Xu on the head.
"That's what your master taught you!"
Jiang Xu cried out in pain, covered his head and lay on the table, calling him "Uncle Master". The uncle politely bowed to Yu Chi.
"I am Ye Qi, the elder of Zichen Dao Sect. I am sorry for being so rude, sir." Yu
Chi raised his hand to show that he didn't care.
"It's okay, elder, please sit down."
Jiang Xu had already raised his head when Ye Qi sat down. Ye Qi wanted to hit him, so he moved aside.
When Gu Jue came down, the three people below were sitting together drinking tea and chatting. The moment they saw Jiang Xu clearly, they were a little excited.
"Jiang Xu!"
Hearing his voice, Jiang Xu turned around and waved to Gu Jue who was still on the stairs.
"Master Gu Jue!"
The moment Gu Jue approached, Ye Qi was very sensitive to his difference, but he didn't see Jiang Xu's reaction.
This Master Gu Jue should not be a bad person.
Thinking of this, Ye Qi did not move, but just thought it would be better to observe him again.
When Ye Qi was observing Gu Jue, Yu Chi's eyes fell on Ye Qi's face vigilantly.
Ye Qi noticed his gaze, came back to his senses and asked him.
"Master Yu Chi, is there something on my face?"
Yu Chi just smiled and nodded his face, Ye Qi did not understand.
But Jiang Xu came to Ye Qi and laughed out loud.
"Master, there is tea on your face!"
Ye Qi hurriedly touched his face, and pressed Jiang Xu's head on the table with a palm, making a "bang" sound.
He was quite old, and the people present were all young people. His image was half lost when he just met.
His eyes touched Gu Jue's clear eyes, and his heart was dumb.
They should be... all juniors, right?
After the dishes came, Jiang Xu took the chopsticks and said, "You're welcome?"
Seeing Yu Chi nodded, he started eating.
Two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, Yu Chi asked for two more dishes and a soup.
At the end of the meal, Jiang Xu patted his stomach with a satisfied look on his face. He had eaten enough dry cakes along the way, and he would sleep more peacefully tonight. After
the meal, Yu Chi and Gu Jue returned to the room. When going upstairs, he could still hear the voices of Jiang Xu and Ye Qi.
"Uncle Master, why can't we live in the upper room?"
"Because the money approved by your master doesn't allow you to live in the upper room." "
What will happen if you
live there?" "You'll be starving for the next few days."
"Your little treasury..."
"I've told you many times that I don't have a little treasury."
"Then what's hidden in your shoes?"
