She is Laozi's wife

  "Now I give you two roads, one is death, and the other is to hand over all your money and leave!" Tang Yan said to them.

  "Can't we choose the third option? For example..." The scar-faced man's face turned extremely ugly, having not snatched anything and still having to hand over money.

  But before he could finish speaking, his body split in two and fell into a pool of blood. This move was Tang Yan's signature technique. In Fengdu City, everyone knew that a young man with a sword on his back had cut a great swordsman in half. Moreover, no one could even see how the opponent had made their move. Do you think they were afraid?

  "The third road is dead!" Tang Yan replied slowly.

  "Don't kill us, don't kill us, we're willing to give you money!" They saw their leader's arm being chopped off without even moving.

  It's unnecessary to say what happened next, everyone knows. Those who didn't want to die took out their money bags from their bodies and put them together in an orderly manner. They weren't rich people, but they all had dozens of gold coins on them, with some having thirty or forty and others having twenty or thirty.

  "Can we go?" they were stabbed in the back by Tang Yan and asked.

  "Get lost, Xuan Yuan Yue's matter is settled by me, you go and spread the word!" Tang Yan didn't want to kill these trash, if they were demons, probably not one of them would be able to leave alive.

  "Yes, yes!" they kept nodding to Tang Yan. Then the two men dragged away the blood-soaked corpse on the ground, after all, it was their captain, and they couldn't just leave him in the wilderness.

  "Wait!" Tang Yan saw them wanting to take the corpse away.

  "Your Excellency, what's going on? We've given you all the money we have!" They were startled by Tang Yan's words and feared that he would settle accounts after autumn.

  "Search your captain's body for money too!" Tang Yan said, pointing at the two halves of the corpse.

  "Yes, yes!" Those who didn't want to die could only nod.

  Tang Yan was right, on the corpse with a scarred face, they found a heavy bag of gold coins and a magic crystal card worth 5,000. Tang Yan was very satisfied with their actions, so he let them drag the corpse away. As for the gold coins on the ground, Tang Yan didn't bother to count or pick them up, but simply threw the 5,000-value magic crystal card into his spatial ring.

  Then he said to Leng Shan and his men: "All of you come over here, divide up these gold coins, and from now on you don't have to escort us anymore!"

  Yes, such a thing happened. Tang Yan knew that the road ahead would also have many masters attacking him. If they just escorted him down, it would only lead to their own deaths. What Tang Yan hired them for was to protect themselves, not for himself to protect them. Before, he had them defend against the Tianying Sect, but now that the Tianying Sect has been driven away, there is no need to have them continue escorting.

  "This...". Leng Shantuan didn't know what to say, and wouldn't let them continue escorting. This was of course a good thing, but they had already received nearly 30,000 gold coins from Tang Yan. If you add these, it should be over 30,000. The original task was less than 10,000 gold coins, but after just a few days of escorting, they had earned over 30,000 gold coins, and couldn't help but feel delighted.

  "I said it before, I won't pay the other half of the gold coins to you guys, consider these as the other half!" Tang Yan pointed at the over a hundred small bags of gold coins on the ground.

  "We didn't mean it that way," said Lengshan Battalion Commander. "I was saying this isn't quite right, we've already taken so much money!"

  "It's okay, take it quickly and leave for your Stone Pine Town or somewhere else. If you don't, even stronger enemies will appear soon and I won't be able to ensure your safety!" Tang Yan said with a wave of his hand.

  "Then who will drive your carriage?" asked Leng Shan Tuan Zhang.

  "This is fine, I can handle it myself!" Tang Yan thought that the horse carriage was usually driven by a female mercenary in their group, but now that they were gone, he could only drive it himself.

  "Alright, let's go!"

  They picked up the money bags on the ground and left, leaving only Tang Yan and his woman here. The team was still lively just now, but suddenly it became cold and quiet. Only Xuan Yuan in the carriage looked at Tang Yan with a moved expression, not for any reason, just because Tang Yan had said to them earlier that he would take care of Xuan Yuan from now on, and really took the matter upon himself. This was something that anyone would be moved by. Moreover, Xuan Yuan was now without support or dependence, if Tang Yan were to abandon her by the roadside, she would be worse off than dead.

  After the incident, Tang Yan returned to the carriage and now he started to regret a little. Looking at the four horses in front of him, he really had an urge to cry. Growing up so big, he had never ridden a horse or driven a carriage before, and just sat there for half a day. In the end, he turned around and looked at the two beautiful women inside the carriage, embarrassed to say: "Which one of you can drive a carriage?"

  "You're not going to ask us to hurry up, are you? Don't you know that these tasks are all done by men?" Xuan Yuan Yue was just moved by Tang Yan's words earlier, but now hearing his words, she felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on her head, and she scolded with a very angry expression.

  "No, that's not what I meant. Of course, I know these rough jobs are done by men. The problem is I've never ridden a horse or driven a carriage!" Tang Yan scratched the back of his head, feeling embarrassed to say so.

  "Junior brother, you only need to say this to me, don't tell outsiders, do you know?" Zilan said in response to Tang Yan's words.

  "Why?" Tang Yan didn't think it was embarrassing to not know how to ride a horse or drive a carriage.

  "In this world, boys learn to ride horses at the age of twelve and can ride into battle by fifteen. I'm afraid if people find out about you, they'll look down on you." Zilan said in a particularly soft voice when she mentioned "look down".

  ……

  No matter what, the horse carriage can't be left here to walk on its own, right? And just now they also said that the news of Moon's pregnancy has spread everywhere, and in the future, who knows how many people will come to fight for it. Now forcing Tang Yan to hurry up and practice Ru, to deal with the enemies of the future, so the matter of driving the carriage can only be left to these two beauties, Zilan and Moon, while he himself sits inside the horse carriage.

  Although they didn't like it very much, there was no way out. Fortunately, there was someone beside them to chat with, but it really bored them to death.

  "I'm telling you, that little junior brother of yours is really a weirdo!" Xuan Yuan Yue said to Zi Lan.

  "I have the same feeling, but he wasn't like this before. It's all because my senior brothers always bullied him and flattered him every few days!" Zilan thought of the times when she walked with Tang Yan, who was very easy-going and didn't mind anything.

  Xuanyuan Yue didn't want to say anything. Faced with Tang Yan's past experiences, she only felt deep sympathy.

  Xuanyuan Yue did not hand over the ancient jade in her hands to Tang Yan, because she didn't quite understand him and didn't want to give something that had been guarded by her family for generations into the hands of a stranger. And Tang Yan also didn't ask further, but instead sat cross-legged in the carriage, cultivating his inner energy in the snowy landscape, waking up from meditation every one or two hours to take a look at the surroundings before continuing to meditate, repeating this process until noon. Sure enough, another group of people appeared, all wearing clean clothes that made them seem like they came from some sort of sect.

  Tang Yan met them and had to be careful, last time it was a group of black-clothed men, a Dou Wang existed, now the old man is asleep, everything has to rely on himself. Underestimating the enemy would only bring death to himself, did Tang Yan dare to underestimate? The lives of two beauties were still in his hands, and he hadn't even touched their bodies yet, Tang Yan didn't want to touch two icy cold corpses.

  The newcomers were not as numerous as the previous group, with about thirty people, each with a heavy killing aura on their bodies, making him feel that they had killed many people. As for the weapons in their hands, it was a red-headed long gun, and the clothes on their bodies fluttered without wind, as if giving Tang Yan a warning.

  "Damn it, five Douling! I'm screwed!" Tang Yan gazed at the five figures in front of him, their auras indicating they were three-star Douling strongmen.

  "How is it now?" Xuan Yuan Yue asked.

  "Don't worry, I won't abandon you. If I drive them away, can you promise me one thing?" Tang Yan asked.

  "Little brother, at this time, are you still taking advantage of the situation?" Zi Lan asked in response to Tang Yan's words.

  "What do you want? I'll give you all my money!" Xuan Yuan Yue said.

  "What can you give me? I'm just asking you to promise me one thing, if in the future I'm not a match for them, hand over what's in your hands to me and then take my little junior sister away with you, help me take care of her." Tang Yan thought about it, he had always been doing good deeds, if this continued, it would really attract out a Dou Wang level or above strong practitioner.

  "What are you talking about? Younger brother, do you really want to abandon me?" Zilan's eyes turned red as she heard Tang Yan's words and pulled at his sleeve.

  "I knew I'd be a burden to you all!" Xuan Yuan Yue still thought Tang Yan wanted her to surrender herself, but didn't expect him to say it as if he was settling his last affairs.

  "Hehe, being able to meet you is also a kind of fate. Alright, I'll go deal with them for a bit!" Tang Yan said with a smile as he gazed at this delicate face.

  Five Dou Ling, Tang Yan didn't have much confidence, but he had a plan. Facing them, Tang Yan slowly approached with a smile until he was less than twenty meters away. They thought Tang Yan had something to say to them, but unexpectedly, without saying a word, he launched five consecutive slashes. The reason Tang Yan came within twenty meters of them was also to facilitate the speed of his sword, as close-range attacks could increase his power.

  "Bang, bang, bang......" Five sounds, before they could even understand what was happening, the five of them were knocked flying and sent crashing fifty meters away, clutching at their chests where a long sword wound had appeared, with fresh blood seeping out like sweat from the red marks.

  Five swords fell, and Tang Yan didn't stop. Another move: Point Snow Seeking Gate Sword Technique. Twenty-five cultivators at the level of Dou Shi and Da Dou Shi were enveloped by countless sword shadows. Cries of despair echoed through the rain of swords, and in an instant, twenty of them fell to the ground, dead without a fight. Only five slightly stronger ones covered their chests with their hands, where they had been stabbed by swords.

  "Who are you?" The five Douling saw the team they brought, twenty of them died instantly, and they themselves were seriously injured, pointing at Tang Yan and asking.

  "Xuanyuan Yue is my woman, and I am her man. If you want to get something from her, ask me first if I'm willing!" Tang Yan's two-meter-long giant sword was inserted into the ground more than 50 centimeters deep, with both hands flat on the hilt, exuding a domineering aura. In his heart, he thought: "Indeed, it won't work out, all because of that old man, sucking away my Second Star Dou Qi!"

  "You, you, good, good, let's go!" One move repelled the five of them, and another move wiped out twenty of them. Five more were injured, and they really didn't dare to stay any longer. They knew that if their opponent made one more move, they would only end up dying here.
