Jinyiwei: Starting by Killing a Traitorous Superior – Chapter 41

Ch 41: Staying at an Inn

Jiang Chen had originally planned to ask for more information and then search for Huang Fei’s body, but unexpectedly, these meddlesome fellows suddenly appeared.

He couldn’t help but feel annoyed in his heart, but his face remained calm.

He glanced coldly at Xiao Lengyu, then without hesitation, stepped on her chest. With the force he exerted, Xiao Lengyu’s eyes quickly lost focus, and the fire of her life was extinguished.

【Sin Points +3644】

After dealing with Xiao Lengyu, Jiang Chen nimbly mounted his horse, his movements smooth and unrestrained.

He swept his cold gaze over those young people, a mocking smile curling at the corner of his lips: “A bunch of ignorant youngsters, daring to interfere in my business.”

After speaking, he ignored the reactions of those young people, spurred his horse, and galloped towards the direction where Huang Fei’s body was located.

The appearance of these people also served as a reminder to him.

This was an official road, with people coming and going, and many ears and eyes.

What if Huang Fei and the others were touched by passersby, wouldn’t he suffer a great loss?

So Jiang Chen went directly to Huang Fei’s corpse and searched his body.

Sure enough, he quickly found a storage ring.

After confirming that he had not missed anything, Jiang Chen mounted his horse and hurried towards the direction of Jingzhou.

At the same time, the leading young man among those people fixed his gaze tightly on Jiang Chen’s receding figure, his fists clenched, eager to chase after him and seek justice for that innocent woman.

However, at this moment, a delicate and fair-looking woman following behind him timidly tugged at his sleeve.

Her voice trembled slightly, her eyes filled with worry: “Brother, don’t chase him. Look, that person is wearing the Flying Fish Uniform of a Jinyiwei Battalion Commander, and the horse he’s riding is the legendary Flood Dragon Colt, which is hard to come by even with a thousand gold pieces. I’m afraid… I’m afraid he’s not an ordinary person.”

After the woman finished speaking, as if afraid that the man would not believe her, she quickly added: “We… we’d better not court trouble.”

The man’s face flashed with a hint of annoyance upon hearing this.

He glanced at Xiao Lengyu, who had already lost her vital signs on the ground, and then looked at his sister beside him. In the end, anger intertwined in his heart, turning into a loud slap.

“Slap!”

The man slapped her backhanded, the force so great that her temples instantly became disheveled, and her cheeks quickly turned red and swollen.

“Did I let you speak? Do you think I can’t see it?”

A flash of embarrassment turned to anger crossed the man Zhao Yuan’s eyes. He had indeed not noticed the details that the woman had reminded him of before, and being exposed in person at this moment made him feel a burst of [untranslated word].

Upon seeing this, the woman obediently lowered her head, her eyes slightly red, tears swirling in her eyes, but she stubbornly held them back, a pitiful sight that aroused compassion.

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito’s buzz: “Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been so talkative and made you angry.”

This scene caused the several men present to frown involuntarily.

One of them couldn’t help but open his mouth to advise: “Zhao Yuan! How can you hit a woman? She’s your sister, how can you bear to hit her like that?”

Another also chimed in: “That’s right! If you have the ability, chase after and kill that person, seek justice for that innocent woman. What kind of ability is it to hit a woman here?”

Zhao Yuan looked at the woman, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes. He didn’t explain, but spurred his horse and galloped away into the distance.

Watching the direction Zhao Yuan left in, a subtle calculation flashed in this woman’s eyes, difficult to detect.

……

“Whoa…”

Jiang Chen gently pulled on the reins, causing Red Lightning to slowly stop.

After traveling continuously for a day, the sky had gradually darkened, and the surrounding scenery became blurred and hazy.

Jiang Chen looked up at the sky, only to see a crescent moon quietly rising, and a few sparse stars dotted the night sky.

He took a deep breath, and a faint sense of fatigue couldn’t help but surge into his heart. Although Red Lightning was divine and could continue traveling at night, it also needed rest and food.

After all, no matter how good a horse was, if it was running around like this for a long time without rest, it would be exhausted to death sooner or later.

He gently stroked Red Lightning’s smooth fur, deciding to rest here for the night. This was a post station located in front of the Qin Mountains, although it was not large in scale, the facilities were fairly complete.

He knew that in at most three more days, he would be able to reach Ten Thousand Flowers Valley in Jingzhou.

Moreover, this was the last post station before entering the Qin Mountains. If he didn’t rest and resupply here, there would be no supplies for the next three thousand *li* of the journey.

“Shop Assistant, get me a top-grade room, and feed my horse the best fodder.”

As soon as Jiang Chen entered, he ordered, casually tossing out a gold ingot, its weight probably around one tael.

“Alright, esteemed guest, please come upstairs!”

The Shop Assistant naturally led Jiang Chen upstairs.

“Bring me ten *jin* of pig head meat, ten *jin* of cold meat, and a pot of Huadiao Wine.”

“Alright, esteemed guest!”

After the Shop Assistant left, Jiang Chen opened his personal panel and began to check today’s gains.

Today he killed a total of three people, but these three people brought him a full 20,000 Sin Points in income.

Such a windfall couldn’t help but make him extremely excited.

Adding the more than 1,000 Sin Points he had left over from before, he could now draw the Green Lottery Wheel twenty-one times, or the White Lottery Wheel two hundred and ten times.

Just as he was pondering, the Shop Assistant had already brought the meat and wine to the door.

“Esteemed guest, your wine and meat have arrived.”

Jiang Chen nodded and said, “Bring it in.”

After the Shop Assistant brought in the wine and meat, Jiang Chen quickly swept it all away.

If it had been in the past, he would not have been able to eat these twenty *jin* of meat no matter what.

But now, he needed a massive amount of food every day to supply the nutrients needed by his body.

Now that he was at the Grandmaster Realm, eating meat could barely supply the nutrients.

When he broke through to the Great Grandmaster Realm, he would have to swallow pills containing powerful energy, or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, in order to barely maintain the energy he needed, otherwise, he would likely starve to death.

However, this situation would improve when he reached the Heaven-Human Realm.

Because martial artists in the Heaven-Human Realm could directly absorb the True Qi that roamed in the world on a large scale to replenish themselves, and would no longer have this trouble of eating.

After letting the Shop Assistant clean up the tableware, Jiang Chen devoted his mind to the System.
