I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 165: Death is Coming
When the disciples of Yidao Martial Arts School saw that the new master did not dare to resist and fled in panic, they completely gave up and packed up their things and left in shame, some even ran away.

But not everyone in the martial arts school is so heartless.

"Evil villain! Return my master's life to you!"

Several warriors, whose attire was much better than that of ordinary disciples, rushed out. The leader was San Lian, who seemed to be a direct disciple.

Seeing how loyal and filial these people were, Xie Yuan nodded in appreciation, and killed them one by one with his sword, sending them to reunite with their master.

Xie Yuan has always been peaceful, he doesn't like to kill people, and he doesn't even like to use force. Even if someone says something rude to him, he usually just laughs it off.

But Xie Yuan was not afraid of killing. He had seen blood, rain, and conspiracy during his time as a convoy escort. He would not be bothered by this. He was no longer the soft-hearted boy from the mountain village. As long as they were enemies, as long as they were hostile, as long as they dared to rush up with a knife, Xie Yuan would never show mercy.

Since Xie Yuan refused to leave, the kind-hearted Xie Yuan could not bear to see his master and his disciples separated by the Yin and Yang, so he killed the two fastest ones with two swords.

It is fast, accurate and painless, just like their Master, and it guarantees that they will never have any worries again.

A disciple who was walking a little slower glared, stumbled, and sat down on the steps at the door, pointing a trembling finger at Xie Yuan:

"You, you...you killed someone in the street, aren't you afraid of the government? That's right! If you dare to kill someone without signing a death warrant, County Lieutenant Yu will definitely arrest you and put you in jail! I'll tell him right now, if you go against the government, against County Lieutenant Yu, you're done, haha!"

This disciple was obviously frightened and somewhat confused, crying and laughing at the same time.

After hearing this, Xie Yuan paused, patted his face, and said with a smile:
"Go and sue the authorities now."

The disciple was stunned, and then when he saw Xie Yuan really put away the knife, he was overjoyed and ran away crawling.

The last bit of resistance from Yidao Martial Arts School didn't make any difference. In less than half an incense stick of time, all the people in the escort agency were completely cleared out.

Xie Yuan led the people from the escort agency back into the former Longteng Escort Agency. Seeing the huge escort agency empty and in a mess, and the previous furnishings had changed a lot, he felt bad.

He sent people to invite back the chief escort's family, and brought the chief escort's spirit tablet back to the ancestral hall in the backyard, where he performed a solemn worship and lit a stick of incense in front of the spirit.

Qin Hai waited until Xie Yuan finished mourning before he sighed and frowned slightly.
"Xie Yuan, what Yidao Martial Arts School said is also a matter. If that old bastard Yu Chunsheng wants to make a fuss about you killing someone in the street, you..."

"Already here."

Xie Yuan said calmly.

"what?"

Qin Hai was stunned for a moment. After a while, he heard the shouts of a large number of yamen runners coming from the outer courtyard. He instantly became nervous:
"Xie Yuan, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Now that I've taken back the house, I won't let you move around anymore."

Xie Yuan shook his head.

Qin Hai frowned:
"Xie Yuan, I'm asking you what to do? You..."

"Me? I will end all the grudges today."

Xie Yuan took a breath. It should have been done long ago.

As he walked out, Qin Hai was startled and shouted from behind:
"Xie Yuan! Yu Chunsheng is still in that position, still wearing official uniform, and the court is his biggest backer! If you..."

Without even turning his head, Xie Yuan waved his hand, opened the gate, and walked towards the group of officers.

"Xie Yuan!"

Seeing that he did not dodge or evade, Qin Hai walked forward towards the officer with his fists clenched tightly.

If he massacred the officials and openly opposed the government, how would Xie Yuan be able to survive in the world?
He was worried about Xie Yuan, but suddenly he was stunned and his eyes slowly widened.

Xie Yuan and the officers were face to face, only a few feet apart, but the officers turned a blind eye and rushed past Xie Yuan like a tide into the escort agency, passing by him.

Xie Yuan walked leisurely through the crowd of officials, blended into the crowd watching outside the escort agency, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"This, this is..."

Qin Hai saw it clearly, but it seemed that he was the only one who saw it clearly, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Where's Xie Yuan? Where is Xie Yuan?"

The officers shouted loudly, and Qin Hai watched them searching everywhere but found nothing.

A large house next to the county government office.

Yu Chunsheng sat in the study, fiddling with the paperweight on the table, his brows furrowed.

"Xie Yuan is not dead, he is back... He is really a scourge that has been around for thousands of years."

He muttered to himself, shook his head and sneered:
"After all, he is young and hot-tempered, and he doesn't have the sense of propriety that old guys like Shen Longteng have. Now he killed someone in front of so many people, and he can't escape the blame. When I put him in jail, I can do whatever I want to him."

Yu Chunsheng smiled.

However, his brows were furrowed uncomfortably, and he always felt a little uneasy.

He couldn't help but stand up and paced around the study with his hands behind his back, thinking:
"Isn't he desperate? But I have called all the county officials here, half of them will catch him and the other half will surround this place, leaving him alone and unable to get in..."

Although Yu Chunsheng thought so, he still felt insecure and his brows furrowed more and more.

He slammed the table and suddenly made up his mind:

"Forget it! If we can't catch him, we still have to contact that person and prepare to leave this place!"

Yu Chunsheng rushed to the backyard and said to a virtuous and gentle woman:

"Madam! You should pack your bags and get ready first."

The woman said:
"Master, are you still going to leave Yunzhao? Didn't you say before that you don't need to..."

"Just do it if I tell you to! It's not certain right now, but let's prepare for a rainy day."

Yu Chunsheng's face was gloomy and uncertain. He said a few words and went back to the study.

Along the way, the yamen runners and servants kept patrolling, surrounding the entire house so that not even a fly could fly in, which made him feel a little relieved. "I'm really scared of this kid. With this kind of situation, even if his blood and qi have transformed, he can't rush in and do anything to me..."

Yu Chunsheng shook his head and just as he opened the door to the study, he suddenly froze.

Xie Yuan was sitting casually on the desk, looking at his favorite paperweight carefully.

Seeing him open the door, Xie Yuan turned around and laughed at him:

"Yu Chunsheng, you're making all this noise, as if you're waiting for me?"

Yu Chunsheng swallowed his saliva quietly and said in a hoarse voice:

"How did you get in?"

Xie Yuan did not answer. He tossed the exquisite jade lion paperweight in his hand and said slowly:
"I heard that the monthly salary of a county lieutenant is only ten taels, and he also receives rations of rice, flour, silk, etc., so he has no worries about food and clothing. But I'm afraid you can't even afford something like this paperweight with your annual salary."

He looked at the various luxurious furnishings in the study and shook his head.
"How many people did you have to squeeze to death to buy a house of these things?
"How many people have been ruined by you?"

Xie Yuan spoke in a gloomy tone, staring closely at Yu Chunsheng.

Yu Chunsheng had a serious expression on his face. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly he stomped his foot hard, crushing the door sill, and rushed out, shouting:

"Someone is coming!!!"

When Xie Yuan saw Yu Chunsheng running away in panic, a mocking expression appeared on his face. He threw the paperweight on the table, slowly walked out of the study with his hands behind his back, and then disappeared in a flash.

Yu Chunsheng ran towards the outer courtyard at full speed, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he was surrounded by guards who had rushed over after hearing the noise.

"Everyone, watch out! Xie Yuan has strange movements, be careful he might appear out of nowhere!"

Yu Chunsheng gave loud commands and ordered the guards to surround him in three layers inside and three layers outside, forming a formation.

He calmed down a little, pulled over a guard who was running nearby, and asked:

"Have you found anyone?"

"Found it, found it! Sir, I am... right here?"

The guard raised his head and smiled brightly, revealing a handsome face.

"what!"

Yu Chunsheng was horrified and pushed Xie Yuan away. He took a few steps back and staggered to the ground.

"Catch him! Catch him!"

He screamed.

The guards rushed forward and grabbed the man Yu Chunsheng pointed at, frightening him so much that his face turned pale:
"Master, I am Niu Er!"

Yu Chunsheng looked unhappy, waved his hand and shouted:

"Take it away, take it away!"

Watching Niu Er being taken away, he was helped up by the guards around him. One of the guards patted the dust off his body considerately, then looked up and smiled:
"Yu Chunsheng, why are you so flustered? Look how you fell."

"what!!!"

Yu Chunsheng let out a scream, drew his sword, and cut "Xie Yuan" in half before anyone around him could react.

He gasped for breath, but when he looked carefully, he saw that the man lying on the ground was clearly his own guard. He was not dead yet, and was looking at him with eyes wide open in confusion.

"!"

Yu Chunsheng looked as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight. His face turned pale and he stared at the guards around him with bloodshot eyes.

When the guards saw him chopping people, they scattered and dared not to surround him anymore.

Yu Chunsheng didn't know what kind of magic Xie Yuan used, and he didn't dare to let the guards get close. He dispersed everyone around him and ran out waving his long sword.

Seeing the gate just ahead, Yu Chunsheng thought in panic:

"Run away, run away and stay away from that guy, that should be fine..."

Just as he was thinking this, the gatekeeper suddenly stood up and closed the gate.

"What the hell are you doing..."

Yu Chunsheng yelled, but suddenly his voice got stuck in his throat.

The doorman raised his head, revealing a feminine and familiar face, and said sinisterly:
"Old Dog Yu, I finally brought Xie Yuan home to you, why are you running away again?"

"!!!Grass!"

Yu Chunsheng felt a chill on the soles of his feet and his legs began to tremble.

He was as swift as a rabbit, turning in another direction and running towards the side door.

Xie Yuan stood at the gate with his hands behind his back, watching Yu Chunsheng running away in panic and snorted coldly.

Yu Chunsheng reached the side door, rushed out of the mansion and ran onto the street.

Seeing the clear sky and bright sun outside and the busy streets, Yu Chunsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and ignored the looks of those around him.

The pedestrians on the street looked at the county lieutenant in surprise, who was standing in the middle of the street in a dishevel and panic-stricken manner, and quietly avoided him.

The crowd parted like a tide, passing by Yu Chunsheng on both sides, but a person in the middle was revealed, still standing firmly in the middle of the street, face to face with Yu Chunsheng.

He was tall and well-proportioned, with an extraordinary handsome face, a majestic temperament, and a calm expression. He looked at Yu Chunsheng quietly.

"Yu Chunsheng, you have harmed so many people. Today is the day you die."
