Yuwen Huaji gritted his teeth, helplessly watching Leon leave.

……

Two days later, in Yangzhou.

"Who exactly are you, and why is Yuwen Huaji issuing a warrant for your arrest?"

The woman blocked Leon's path and spoke coldly.

"Young lady, don't you know that when asking about someone's background, you should first introduce yourself?"

Leon frowned as he sized up the woman in front of him.

"Fu Junzhuo".

With her lips slightly parted, the woman's words were as concise as her personality.

"Hmm... I've heard that the great Goryeo sword master Fu Chae-rin has three beautiful female disciples. Miss Fu, am I right?"

"Qiang!"

Leon was answered with the clang of a sword. Fu Junzhuo drew her sword, its chilling aura pointing directly at the person before her, and a fierce killing intent immediately filled the entire area.

"Why are you angry, Miss Fu? I was just joking with you. A beauty like you should smile more."

Leon maintained a smile and spoke calmly, as if he hadn't seen the chilling sword light.

"Uh-huh,"

Fu Junzhuo's clothes fluttered, her sword light surged, and her longsword, like lightning, pierced towards Leon's heart, intending to kill him with a single blow.

"Hiss,"

The longsword pierced the air, producing a long, drawn-out sword cry. Unfortunately, the sword did not land on anything; the spot where Leon had landed was now deserted.

Fu Junzhuo was startled and hurriedly tried to turn around, but found a chill in her throat. A cold sword was pressed against her throat. Needless to say, it was Leon who had done it.

"I've lost. Do with me as you please."

With her beautiful eyes tightly closed, Fu Junzhuo said somewhat unwillingly,

She simply couldn't believe that someone in this world could subdue her in a single move. Even if her master, the Goryeo sword master Fu Chae-rim, were to come in person, it would probably take him more than three moves to subdue her.

Could it be that the person in front of her was even more skilled in martial arts than her master? Fu Junzhuo felt a sudden sense of despair.

Fu Junzhuo was unaware that Leon's main skill was magic, with sword flight being secondary. Simply performing a few sword techniques was a piece of cake for Leon.

In particular, Leon focuses on the subtlety of the moves. Fu Junzhuo's sword strike seemed perfect, but in Leon's eyes, it had countless flaws.

"It was just a joke with Miss Fu, why do you always have such a long face..."

With a flick of his arm, the longsword grazed lightly past Fu Junzhuo's ear. Leon sheathed the sword at his waist, crossed his arms, and looked her over.

"She's really beautiful. I never knew women in ancient times were so ethereal."

Leon thought to himself.

Because she is Korean, Fu Junzhuo's appearance is not like that of people from the Central Plains. However, her face, figure, eyebrows, and skin are all so beautiful that they make people's hearts flutter. However, her expression is as cold as ice, which makes people hesitate to approach her.

Fu Junzhuo then realized that her veil had been sliced ​​off by Leon's sword. She opened her eyes, ignoring the veil lying on the ground, and instead glared coldly at Leon.

Are all you people from the Central Plains so superficial?

"I don't know about superficiality, but..."

Leon smiled.

"Haven't you heard the saying, 'A fair maiden is sought after by a gentleman'? It's only natural that people would take a second look at a beautiful woman like you."

"Pfft,"

Fu Junzhuo smiled, and in an instant, it was as if a hundred flowers were blooming, her beauty beyond compare.

"You have a very interesting way of speaking, but that's enough for today, goodbye."

After saying this, Fu Junzhuo leaped into the air and disappeared from Leon's sight.

The beauty was gone, leaving only a lingering fragrance. Leon squinted as he watched Fu Junzhuo's disappearing figure.

Arriving at a restaurant, Leon planned to have breakfast before heading to Danyang City.

For Leon, being wanted was irrelevant, but to minimize unforeseen circumstances, Leon changed his appearance again.

……

In the world of the Tang Dynasty, there are said to be four extraordinary books: the Longevity Manual, the War God's Record, the Heavenly Demon Strategy, and the Compassionate Sword Manual. All four books have the power to shatter the void. Among them, the War God's Record is engraved in the War God's Temple. The environment around the War God's Temple is a world of its own, guarded by demonic dragons, with exotic flowers and herbs that do not exist outside. The temple is vast and boundless, and its ceiling is engraved with the stars of the heavens. The War God's Temple can also move on its own, changing its position until a person with the right destiny appears.

The Longevity Manual was written by Guang Chengzi during the ancient times. Who was Guang Chengzi? He was the teacher of the Yellow Emperor. How could anything he wrote be fake?

Leon picked up a bowl of cold tea, drank it all in one gulp, and continued to recall the introduction to the Four Great Classical Novels.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Xie Tiao, the first evil emperor, saw records of the Heavenly Demon Strategy in an ancient tomb from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. He glimpsed its secrets and created the Great Dao Heart Demon Seed Cultivation Technique...

The Cihang Sword Manual was created by the founder of Cihang Jingzhai, Di Ni. It is based on five key principles: "Qi governs the spirit, mind, and heart." These principles are "Sword Qi over the Yangtze River," "Sword governs heaven and earth," "Sword spirit governs the universe," "Sword spirit is selfless," and "Sword heart is clear."

The entire volume is divided into thirteen chapters, with stillness, guarding, emptiness, and nothingness as its main themes.

However, the Cihang Sword Manual progresses from telepathy to sword clarity, and then to the death gate. Throughout history, only a handful of people have been able to reach the stage of sword clarity.

If he could get them all, Leon believed it would be a considerable number of points.

After finishing his breakfast, Leon got up, paid the bill, and left.

As he left, Leon glanced, seemingly casually, at an alleyway not far away...

...

Danyang City was the largest city upstream of Yangzhou City. It was the only way for inland people to travel from Yangzhou City to the sea, and its importance was second only to Yangzhou City.

The town boasts unique scenery, crisscrossed by waterways and spanned by hundreds of stone arch bridges. Houses are nestled along the water, their buildings arranged in a staggered, orderly fashion.

Streets, markets, and roads are formed by water, creating a tranquil and simple water town landscape that is as gentle as water.

The city gates opened the following morning.

After entering the city, we walked along the main street deeper into the city. On both sides were shops with the front store and the back residence. The shops were spacious and had skylights for natural light.

The shop was filled with all kinds of goods and handicrafts, and it was very prosperous, attracting many customers.

"The game we had last night wasn't good..."

Leon sighed inwardly, went up to the second floor of a restaurant, sat at a table by the window, ordered his dishes, and before he could even pick up his chopsticks, he heard a somewhat familiar female voice.

"Shopkeeper, give me two side dishes and two steamed buns."

Chapter 253, The Banquet, First Hearing of the He Shi Bi Jade. (Fourth update, please add your own version)

"Miss Fu, we meet again."

At this moment, half of the dozen or so tables in the restaurant were occupied. At one of these tables sat a richly dressed young man, clearly of high status, who kept glancing at the woman in white, obviously captivated by her beauty.

When Leon spoke, the man turned to look at him, while Fu Junzhuo nodded to Leon as a greeting, unsurprisingly.

"Shopkeeper, check please."

Fu Junzhuo ordered very few dishes, and after only a few bites, she put down her chopsticks, took out a string of five-zhu coins, and called out to the waiter.

"Miss, your bill has already been settled by that young master."

The waiter respectfully walked to Fu Junzhuo's side and explained to her.

"I don't need anyone to pay the bill for me,"

Fu Junzhuo coldly tossed down a string of five-zhu coins, then got up and left the restaurant.

Before long, Leon finished eating, paid the bill, and left the restaurant.

Leon walked aimlessly out of the restaurant and onto the street.

However, following his route, the end of the road leads to a dock.

After leaving the city gate, we went straight to the riverbank.

The dock was crowded with people waiting for the boat, all talking excitedly. In the crowd, Kou Zhong spotted a white figure.

The figure stood alone on the dock, quite a distance from the others, and his cold demeanor made him seem somewhat out of place among those around him.

Leon frowned, walked towards the white figure, and greeted him.

"What a coincidence, you're also waiting for a boat?"

Fu Junzhuo stared blankly at the passing ships, as if asking a question or talking to herself:

"Why are so many ships returning from the west, but none heading west?"

"That's because Li Zitong's righteous army in the East China Sea had just crossed the Huai River, formed an alliance with Du Fuwei, and defeated the Sui army. They also sent an army south to directly threaten Liyang."

If Liyang falls, the Yangtze River waterway will be cut off, so everyone is currently adopting a wait-and-see attitude, waiting to see the situation clearly before daring to head west.

A gentle male voice sounded from behind. Leon glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and recognized him as the young master who had been looking at Fu Junzhuo frequently in the restaurant and had later paid her bill.

"My name is Song Shidao. I greet you all. May I ask if you are also waiting for a ship?"

At this moment, Song Shidao was bowing to Leon, but his eyes were fixed on Fu Junzhuo, never leaving her for a moment.

Fu Junzhu snorted coldly and said:
