In the backyard, in the small building, Mrs. Hu was inexplicably about to take the hairpin from Bai Lu's hand.

"Buzz!"

It was not very sharp or high-pitched, but rather low and dense, like the sound of a sword thundering in a summer night, approaching rapidly from afar.

A crystal window of the small building was shattered by the sword light. Bai Lu screamed, and two green sword rainbows several feet long came at her rapidly, circling around her.

"Bang!"

Bai Lu's body turned into a blood-red smoke, and with a 'swoosh' sound, it condensed into a blood-red rainbow as thick as a wrist and more than a hundred feet long, breaking through the air and escaping. The two sword lights wrapped around the blood-red rainbow, only cutting off a dozen feet in length, and crushing it into pieces with a few sweeps.

The hairpin that Bai Lu had not had time to send to the ground fell to the ground. Mrs. Hu was quick-witted and was about to pick it up when a green sword rainbow rolled over and the exquisite hairpin was also shattered into pieces by the sword rainbow.

A shrill female cry came from the shattered hairpin. A wisp of blood-red smoke slowly rose up, and a pale female face could be vaguely seen trembling rapidly in the blood-red smoke.

"Oh my God!" Mrs. Hu was so frightened that her soul left her body. She looked at the bloody smoke in horror, rushed out of the building in a panic, and rolled down the stairs.

"Oh my god, it's haunted, it's haunted... There are really ghosts in this world... Go and call your master back, call your master back!" Mrs. Hu screamed hysterically: "This old bastard, he hasn't come home these days, does he have a lover outside?"

"Butler, butler, you must know where the master has gone, find him back for me, find him back!"

"It's haunted, in broad daylight, it's haunted, this is really unbelievable!"

The two green sword rainbows circled in the air again, and rolled for a while, strangling the blood-colored smoke that spewed out of the hairpin. The sword rainbows retracted inward, revealing two light green swords. The light was dazzling like water waves, and the shape was beautiful, like a four-foot long sword made of pieces of scales.

The two long swords, with their tips pointing downwards, were suspended vertically in the air. They slowly circled the small building twice, and when they found that there was no strange aura around, they transformed into sword rainbows again and flew away into the air with a hum.

Outside the courtyard of Tian'en Mansion, two girls with pigtails waved their hands and put the two swords into the bag next to the saddle.

A young girl grabbed a handful of air with her right hand, put it in front of her nose and sniffed it, muttering, "What an evil smell... Is this a ghost?"

Another young girl sniffed the scent brought back by the sword and shook her head, saying, "Not necessarily. There are ghosts, monsters, demons, and goblins. They are all possible... In the clan's "Sword Suppresses Demons and Evils", have you only read the "Ghost" chapter?"

The girl just now started laughing so hard that her eyes curved into crescents.

The oldest girl reached out and tapped her forehead gently: "You are the laziest... Well, you have encountered these strange things for no reason, and you have also suffered a lot. Find a place and have a good rest."

The girl pulled out a book as thick as a brick from her bag, flipped through it vigorously, and murmured, "Well, after entering the city, you can't camp outdoors, or you will be expelled by the officials, or even arrested and interrogated in prison."

"We need to find... an inn. Well, we need to find an inn facing the street with a lot of people. That's safe, convenient, and cheap. Especially for women like us, we need to stay in the best suites, not separate rooms, to ensure quietness and peace. The best suites are also the cleanest, without cockroaches, rats, or other bugs."

The two girls heard their sister's last-minute cramming and nodded desperately: "Stay in a hotel, stay in a hotel, where is the largest inn here?"

The girl flipped through the book and murmured, "The largest inn is usually on the largest and busiest street. We can find it by following the street."

"But... accommodation costs money."

Half an hour later, the three girls were escorted out of the door of Anlefang's largest inn, Anle Inn, by several vigilant waiters.

"My three guests, our inn opens its doors to welcome guests from all directions. We never dare to get angry with you. If you encounter any difficulties, we will help you if we can."

"But the three of you are using copper coins from the previous dynasty to stay at our hotel... The current Sikoutai has strict laws, so we dare not accept this money."

"I'm afraid you three have been deceived? Scammed? Anyway, no store in the entire Gaojing dares to touch this money. Gentlemen, why don't you go somewhere else?"

The three girls were escorted out of the inn, and a waiter bowed to them respectfully.

The three girls looked at each other in confusion.

The oldest girl was holding a string of blue-gold copper coins in her hand. The shape of the coins was like maple leaves and they were extremely exquisite. A line of small characters was engraved on the edge - 'Made by the imperial decree of the so-and-so Heavenly Dynasty, worth ten thousand blue-gold coins, on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, numbered so-and-so'!

In the dynasty before the Dayinwu Dynasty, this was the largest denomination of Qingxie coins circulating on the market.

This Qingxie coin is made of an alloy made of extremely fine bronze mixed with gold, and then cast with extremely exquisite craftsmanship. It is extremely expensive and difficult to make, so it is very valuable.

Converted into the copper coins of today's Dayin, the market value of such a Qingxie coin is about 150 strings of cash.

However, Dayin has been established for more than 1,800 years, and the previous dynasty of Dayin has been destroyed for more than 10,000 years. The owner of Anle Inn can still recognize the Qingxie money, which shows how good his eyesight is.

But although they recognized it, no one dared to accept the money.

Otherwise, the Sikoutai will come to your door and accuse you of having ties to the previous dynasty. We are all good citizens, so who can stand it?
The three girls looked at the silver coins in their hands with sad faces.

They left home secretly and took some money from the family treasury.

Along the way, they had used up all the small silver ingots and gold leaves of the lowest value, but they had not used the single most valuable Qingxie coin.

Who could have thought that when they arrived in Haojing, they would be short of money?

After turning a few corners, the oldest girl took out the thick book again and began to read it carefully.

"It's not easy to wander around the world. If you are short of money, you can ask the Jianghu for help. Choose a notorious and powerful family, take their money, rob the rich and give to the poor. For every ten thousand gold you take, keep a hundred for yourself, and give the rest to the poor people in the market. This way, you can generally keep your 'Sword Heart Empty'."

The oldest girl murmured, "Robbing the rich to help the poor is really a great idea. Should we choose that notorious and powerful family?"

She flipped through the thick book again: "To find a target, you should ask the most common small vendors in the market."

A strong stench wafted over.

The girl looked in front of her and saw a few slices of stinky tofu being fried in a large oil pan.

Looking at another alley entrance more than a hundred feet away, there was also a large oil pot with a few children gathered around it.

'The most ordinary and visible small vendor'!

The girl put away her book, walked to the nearest stinky tofu stall with a smile, and asked the eight-foot-tall, bare-chested and shirtless man behind her who was flipping tofu slices with long chopsticks to find out who the most powerful and cruel family was in their eyes.

The big man rolled his eyes in surprise and said immediately, "Who else could it be? The mansion of Lord Tian'en? Lord Tian'en is a good man, but his wife is really a piece of shit. For a little money, she forced her nephew to cancel the engagement, letting a man of nine feet tall suffer the humiliation of that filthy bitch..."

The big man threw his chopsticks fiercely and shouted, "Hey, if I didn't have an old mother to take care of at home, I would have taken out a dog-killing knife to kill this black-hearted woman, and I would have killed her with a white knife in and a green knife out!"

A kid nearby laughed: "Master Scar Tiger, everyone else has a red knife, why are you using a green knife?"

A twisted scar on the big man's face trembled, and he laughed, "I'll poke her in the gallbladder, isn't that okay? Come, take it carefully, you little brats want it very spicy, go to the toilet later, if you cry because of the spiciness, don't come to trouble me!"

The older girl looked at the big man and turned away.

Accompanying their two younger sisters, they ran around the streets like headless flies for a while, and then the three girls sought advice from vendors selling wontons, fish balls, grilled skewers, and candied haws.

It was unknown how these vendors came to a unified tone, but they all used all kinds of vicious words to curse Mrs. Hu.

The older girl clapped her hands lightly and sighed, "Okay, let's choose the Tian'en Mansion and Madam Hu... But, let me see..."

She took out the book again and began to read it carefully.

"When you really want to rob the rich and help the poor, if it's a powerful family, you must find a way to escape. Once you succeed, you must travel hundreds of miles away and never stay in the other party's territory for a long time."

"Remember, remember, although our swords are sharp, we will not kill the weak or mortals."

"Steal in, steal out, leave when the work is done, and hide your achievements and fame!"

"Well, the seniors have learned a bloody lesson. Although our swords are sharp, we have no other magical powers besides swords. Therefore, we must be careful of the ferocious night dogs raised by the rich and powerful, especially the ankles and calves?"

The three girls' faces changed slightly and they looked down at their own slender legs and feet.

"Well, we need to prepare some meat buns and some knockout drugs... the secret recipe of our clan's knockout drug that is specifically designed to kill fierce dogs? Yes, yes!"

The sky gradually darkened.

The three girls rode on donkeys and stealthily approached the Tian'en Mansion where they had just rescued someone with their flying swords during the day.

At the same time, Kunpengfang, Liudeju.

In a secret room, Bai Lu curled up in a pool of blood, with wisps of blood rising up and continuously sinking into her mouth.

Duan Fangyu stood quietly beside the blood pool with a smile, admiring Bai Lu's beautiful face.

Under his skin, black scales appeared and disappeared from time to time, and behind him, distorted faces were faintly visible. An astonishing murderous aura seemed to be real, condensing into a long black flag behind him, which was fluttering wildly even in the wind.

"There is only one Madam Hu. It is good to have her, but it won't affect the overall situation if she is not there."

Duan Fangyu smiled and said, "We have been preparing for this for quite some time, can we start it now?"

"Tomorrow is the day when your 'relatives' will be sent to Jiuqu Garden for the emperor to choose... How about we give them a big surprise?"
