With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

It seems that Nangong Wu stopped when she saw the place, but did not wake him up. Instead, she went ashore first and then got the boat out.

I just don't know where this place is, I have to go out and ask for directions.

After standing there for a while, Nangong Wu came out and called to him, "Breakfast is ready."

Bei Chenyan walked back into the cabin and asked, "Why did you decide to stop here?"

Nangong Wu walked back into the cabin, opened the map that Bei Chenyan had placed on the table, pointed to a location, and said, "We boarded the ship at this ferry crossing."

Then he pointed to another place, "We need to land in a place called Yanlin City, because this route is the closest to the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty."

It's been over 700 li to get to this place. The ship's log showed we'd traveled 700 li, so we stopped wherever we could find a spot.

Her speedboat travels at 60 knots per hour. One nautical mile is equal to 1.85 kilometers per hour. According to the time recorded on the driving recorder, they have traveled more than 700 kilometers to this point. She stopped the boat here, and the distance is not much different.

Bei Chenyan nodded in agreement. "Alright, once we're inside the territory of the Eastern Jin Kingdom, we'll have a good chance of finding our way."

After he finished speaking, he turned and went to the restroom.

The two ate something and prepared to leave.

Nangong Wu put away the speedboat and brought out the horse.

The soil here is soft; we need to ride a horse to leave.

This place was truly desolate; they walked for more than an hour without encountering a single person.

Bei Chenyan took out a compass, glanced at it, and said, "Just keep going east."

They walked for another half hour before finally seeing people working in the fields.

There should be a village nearby, with about thirty people working sparsely.

Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu walked toward the two people closest to them, an old man and a young man, who appeared to be father and son.

The father and son became alert as soon as they saw that they were coming from the east.

Especially the younger one, whose eyes were fixed on Nangong Wu.

Nangong Wu was still dressed in women's clothing, with a veil covering her face. Although her face could not be seen, it was still clear from her beautiful eyes that she was a beautiful woman.

Bei Chenyan dismounted and bowed to the two men. "Uncle, may I ask where Yanlin City is?"

"Who are you? Why did you come from over there?" the old man asked them in return.

Nangong Wu frowned. "We're heading to Yanlin City, but we've gotten lost. Could you tell me which road we should take?"

Before the old man could speak, his son interrupted, "Give us ten taels of silver and we'll tell you."

Bei Chenyan's gaze fell on the man, who was tall and thin. His cunning little eyes, like a monkey stealing peaches, were fixed on Nangong Wu's chest.

His face turned cold, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

"We won't ask anymore." Nangong Wu spurred her horse and prepared to leave.

She wasn't upset about the ten taels of silver, but rather she felt that these two people were definitely not good people, and it was best to stay away from them.

I was just asking for directions; I didn't want to kill anyone.

Bei Chenyan also remounted his horse and followed her.

"Stop!" The man ran over, trying to stop them.

Would Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu listen to him? They spurred their horses and continued on their way.

Suddenly, the man blew a loud whistle.

The men working in the fields stopped what they were doing, stood up, and looked over.

"These two are spies from the Western Yan Kingdom! Everyone, arrest them and claim the reward!" the man shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone rushed over.

"Can we kill them?" Nangong Wu asked the man beside her.

Aren't people from the countryside supposed to be the most honest and simple?

Seeing the greed in the eyes of this old man and young boy, they were even more despicable than those unscrupulous merchants.

No! He must be a born bad seed.

"If they want to die, we might as well send them on their way," Bei Chenyan said.

Soon, they were surrounded by about thirty people.

"What do you want to do?" Bei Chenyan pointed at them with his riding whip.

"These two are spies from the Western Yan Kingdom. Let's arrest them and send them to the government to claim the reward!" the man shouted again.

Those who had just arrived looked at the horses beneath them with gleaming eyes.

"Look at the clothes they're wearing, they're made of the finest materials, and they're riding such fine horses, they must be rich people."

"We won't get much reward money by handing them over to the authorities. We might as well kill them, take their horses and sell them. The money we get from that will be more than the reward money."

"Yes, and if we find any silver on them, we'll split it all!"

Seeing that there was only one man and one woman, these people assumed they were two lambs to the slaughter and began to criticize them.

Upon hearing this, the father and son immediately nodded in agreement.

The man's eyes gleamed with lust as he pointed at Nangong Wu, "My father and I discovered them first. The credit goes to our family. I want this woman as my wife; we only need to kill this man..."

"Pfft~~"

Bei Chenyan made his move, piercing the tall, thin man's neck with a dagger, half of it protruding from behind, his vicious words stuck in his throat.

"Ah..." A gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd.

None of these people expected that these two would dare to kill someone on their own turf!

"Li'er!" The old man rushed over and helped his son up.

"Those who don't want to die, get out of here right now!" Bei Chenyan's voice was icy.

"Kill them! Chop them up to avenge my son!" the old man roared angrily.

"Kill them!"

The thirty or so men were enraged and drew their short swords from their waists.

Nangong Wu looked at these people, her eyes flashing with murderous intent.

These people were carrying weapons even when they went to work in the fields; they must not be ordinary villagers.

"Hand over the horse immediately, and this woman had better behave so she can suffer less."

"Enough talk, kill this man first." Six or seven tall men made the first move, raising their swords and slashing at Bei Chenyan.

"Don't hurt the horse," the person behind them urged.

"Do you need my help?" Nangong Wu asked indifferently, as if she were talking about something trivial.

"No need, I haven't stretched my muscles these past few days." Bei Chenyan suddenly leaped off his horse, his movements as swift as lightning.

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

The heads of the people running in front flew off.

"what!"

Those behind him, seeing how powerful he was, were so shocked that they all retreated.

"Let's retreat first, and go back to get more people. We can't let them get away." Several of the older men turned and ran first.

Seeing that Bei Chenyan was not easy to deal with, the others also ran away.

"Trying to run? Too late!"

Bei Chenyan was furious. He flew after him, and the soft sword in his hand transformed into silver dragons, carrying incomparably sharp sword energy. Everywhere he passed, heads fell to the ground and blood splattered everywhere.

The old man holding his son's body was so frightened that he forgot to scream, realizing that they had kicked a hornet's nest this time.
