Robens headless body was still stiff on the ground, but the muscles that locked the short sword to his chest had relaxed. After Yang Yu pulled out the short sword, he pushed the headless body away and sat down on the ground with a thud. The blow from Roben earlier wasnt actually that powerful, but Yang Yu had deliberately exploded himself to make it look more convincing. The blood mist that filled the air earlier had really injured his internal energy. If not for that, he might not have been able to deceive the person who was behind Roben and had come through the storm.

  After taking out the medicinal pill that stops bleeding and swallowing it, Yang Xiaos condition improved a bit. He had lost too much blood this time. After catching his breath, Yang Xiao took out another pill and swallowed it, then closed his eyes to rest. It wasnt until after a short while, about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, that some color finally returned to his face.

  Yin Bai didnt do anything and stayed beside Luo Bens corpse, sniffing for half a day before slowly walking in the direction behind him.

  At this time, Sun Peng and Xiao He Shang ran over one after another. After taking a look at Luo Ben who had already died, Sun Peng said first: "Im not saying, Da Yang, you came and gave me some hint early on, at least let me know that the two of you have joined forces, so I can also be at ease."

  "My heart sank" Yang Jun said, while taking out a piece of deerskin to wipe the blood stains on the blade. He glanced at the two halves of Luo Ben on the ground and continued: "This persons mind is meticulous, as long as he sees one point, we will all be hard-pressed to escape with our lives today."

  Sun Baozi nodded straight away, following Yang Juns gaze to look at the two dead bodies. At this time, Xiao He Shang said: "By the way, who is this guy after all? Today, except for Director Wu, all the elites of the Civil Affairs Bureau are here. It was almost a disaster, who could have such great skills?"

  He said this as his eyes began to glance towards Yang Jun. Unexpectedly, Yang Jun shook his head and said: "I dont know, Im seeing this person for the first time today too. If it werent for Director Gao saying he didnt feel at ease and asking me to follow him over to take a look, I wouldnt have seen this person before either."

  Sun Baozi listened and continued to say: "Originally, I thought that Old Gao would call Director Wu over, following this route, Director Wu should know the identity of this guy. Unexpectedly, he changed his approach this time and directly sent you two from Room 6, Section 2. Not me saying it, but isnt there something going on?"

  Yang Jun shook his head and said, "I dont know anything about it. However, your Director Gao changed the rules yesterday. From now on, at least one of them must stay in the Public Opinion Bureau to keep watch. As for who that person was whose head I chopped off earlier, you can ask someone else."

  Xiao He Shang listened and then smacked his lips, half-jokingly saying: "Yang Jun, you said youve never seen this person before, yet you beheaded him? Tsk tsk, it seems like we should get to know each other a bit better."

  "This person is nothing, but the one controlling him from inside is not to be underestimated" Yang Jun put away the narrow-bladed long knife into its scabbard. Then he placed the scabbarded knife into a long wooden box. After securing the box on his back, he turned around and said: "The rest of the matters are up to you now. I have something to attend to, so Ill take my leave first."

  Just as Yang Jun was about to leave, Sun Pangzi suddenly said: "Big Yang, is this a new knife? I havent seen you use it before. Not that Im saying anything, but this knife is really beautiful, is it an antique? They all say that the precious knives of ancient times are divided into male and female. This knife looks like a female one, do you have another one in your hand? How about giving it to me?"

  When Sun Wukong heard the sound of the sword, Yang Jun smiled and patted the wooden box behind him, saying: "It looks like an ancient sword, but its actually a design I drew, and I gave the materials to someone to help me forge. The Embroidered Spring Sword is not divided into male or female, only one was forged. It just came back yesterday, and unexpectedly, the first person to be killed by this sword would be someone like you."

  Saying that, Yang Jun paused for a moment, looked at the two corpses on the ground again, and glanced at Yang Xiao who was still meditating with his eyes closed. Finally, he said: "Todays matter is not over yet, you all need to be more careful in the near future. Ill give you some advice, before this matter is thoroughly settled, its best for you to stay inside the Bureau of Civil Affairs and dont come out easily."

  After finishing speaking, Yang Jun no longer paid attention to the crowd and turned around to walk towards the direction of the prison gate. His footsteps werent particularly fast, but in the blink of an eye, Yang Jun had already reached the edge of the prison wall. He did something that left Sun Baozi and the others stunned, as Yang Jun stepped on the wall with his feet and walked up step by step. In a short while, he was already standing on top of the wall, and then disappeared from everyones line of sight.

  Yang Jun disappeared at the same time, and Yang Xiao had already opened his eyes. He let out a sour sigh towards the position where Yang Jun had disappeared. In terms of real skills, he absolutely surpassed Yang Jun, even if it was Yang Jun with that new embroidered spring knife. The method he and Yin Bai used to lure Luo Ben into the trap was based on Yang Juns transmission sound technique step by step. Yin Bai was a bit better off, having almost thrown away half his life. However, it was Yang Jun who had beheaded Luo Ben with the final blow. But now that he thought about it calmly, there seemed to be no better method than this one.

  Watching Yang Juns back disappear on the city wall, Yang Xiao muttered to himself: "This step by step, finally ended with a dead knot. After all, its the Brocade Guard who excels in this aspect." Thinking of Yang Juns opening remarks after beheading Luo Ben earlier, he indeed looked quite majestic. He wondered if he should also come up with some lines like that to prop himself up in the future.

  Looking at the large copper nail left beside Chi Tian in the distance, Yang Xiao silently recited: "Remember my name, the one who will kill you with a single nail is called Yang Xiao——should I also change to a more handy household item?"

  After Yang Xiao opened his eyes, Sun Baozi slipped over and smiled at him, saying: "Old Yang, are you okay? Im not saying it, but earlier was really a pity. If you had acted faster, just now would have been the one who said: Remember my name, one sword to kill your called Yang Xiao. By the way, Yang Jun has only been on shore for a few years and cant compare to your experience. Who exactly is Luo Ben? It seems like only you and Yin Bai know. Yin Bai wont say anything about it. This matter depends on you now."

  Yang Xiao was already seething with anger. Now Sun Baozi came over and said such a thing, which was utterly infuriating to Yang Xiaos ears. After finally calming down, Yang Xiao stood up, gave Sun Baozi a glare with the same eyes that had appeared on the 15th floor, and said: "I dont know this person either, you can go ask whoever you want."

  As he spoke, Yang Xiao struggled to get up from the ground and walked towards the prison gate, saying: "Its too late for things here, contact the Civil Affairs Bureau and let them send someone over to take charge. As for the corpses on the ground, go back and ask Director Wu. If hes in a good mood, hell tell you."

  As he spoke, Yang Xiao also took a few steps forward, but seeing that Sun Baozi was not following behind him, he stopped in his tracks and said to Sun Baozi: "You dont think Id just walk out like Yang Jun did, do you?"

  Sun Baozi was taken aback and replied with an excuse: "I didnt think youd walk on the city wall either, not that I said it, but I didnt expect to see you leave by the road where Yang Jun is. Old Yang, what place can trap you? You just shed a bit of blood and youre out. With one mouthful of blood, even Director Wu cant find you?"

  Yang Xiao glared at him again, weakly saying: "Do you see if I still have a drop of extra blood to spit out? Can I walk through the front door? Trouble Director Sun to open the door for me, I want to go out..."

  Sun Baozi took a sip of tea, and that was the end of the first part of the story. At this time, Sun Baozis and my wine had also woken up. We were drinking fragrant tea cup by cup. Hearing him say this, there was no more to come, so I opened my mouth and asked: "Dasheng, what happened later? Did you find out who was behind Luo Ben?"

  After Sun Baozi slowly drank a cup of tea, he said: "It was Yang Xiao who spoke after his anger dissipated. He didnt dare to say it himself, so he asked me to ask Wu Renyi. I was too busy at that time and had no time to ask. Then it just passed like that. Laizi, dont look at me like that. Alright, I didnt have the guts to provoke Old Wu, this is the truth."

  Sun Baozi paused for a moment, then continued: "Let me tell you about Luo Ben first. At the beginning, I really thought he was saving Liu Cheng out of gratitude. Later, it was Yang Xiao who gave me some hints. Only then did I realize that Luo Ben didnt have good intentions from the start. His longevity was tied to the entire Liu Cheng family; as long as one person in the Liu Cheng family remained alive, he could convert their lifespan into his own and continue living. Unfortunately, he made a mistake with this family - after he and the Liu Cheng familys lifespans were connected, the Liu Cheng branch started to decline, and by the time of Liu Chengs generation, he had no siblings. Moreover, they hadnt been in contact for thirty years. Luo Ben was confused, having searched for him for thirty years, only to find him in prison. And when he finally found him, he even risked his own life."
