It was not that Jin Lian did not want to run, but when she saw more and more people downstairs, she already knew that she should not offend someone.

However, she was even more afraid of Jiang Xiaobai. A man who could easily knock down four people with a straight saber was also a man that she couldn't afford to offend.

Therefore, she didn't dare to move or speak. She could only curl up in a corner and pray that all of this was just a dream.

”Play a song?” Jin Lian trembled as she stood up and asked: ”Master, what do you want to hear?”

”Whatever, whatever you know will work. Why not Eighteen?” ”What the heck!” Jiang Xiaobai thought of an ancient song, but found it embarrassing to say it.

But Jin Lian seemed to understand, she took off her Hu Qin and started babbling.

It was supposed to be a fast tune, but because of the tense distance between them, his fingers had become deformed and turned into a loud noise.

Jiang Xiaobai did not mind, he continued to hide behind the window to observe the situation outside.

There were more and more people, and there were more than two hundred of them. The place was packed and silent.

Some of them were holding ordinary sabers, some held long spears, and some even held bows and arrows.

This wasn't some local ruffian, this was clearly a well-organized and well-trained army.

It was too unbelievable. The defending troops of Yizhou City only numbered three to four hundred and the residents of the city numbered less than four to five thousand. Yet, a mysterious force that consisted of two groups of people suddenly appeared.

The answer was quickly revealed as a group of bailiffs rushed out from the County Yamen. They surrounded a man dressed in the clothes of a Song Dynasty official and rushed to Fatty Fang's side.

”Master Fang, what's going on?” The man in the uniform curtsied.

Fatty Fang said in a deep voice: ”Liu County Order, the Yizhou City have mixed with the spies, do you not know about it?”

So this is the Liu County Order, Jiang Xiaobai could not help but take a few more glances.

Liu County Order was in his early forties, with a fair complexion and a frail body, like a scholar who couldn't even hold a chicken.

”How many people are there?” Liu County Order looked at Jiang Xiaobai who was behind the window in shock.

Now that the Liao Kingdom had been destroyed and the war had stopped for more than half a year, even though this place was a Fringe City, Jin Song was an ally.

”Just him alone!” Fatty Fang pointed at Jiang Xiaobai and said, ”This man is very skilled, all four of my guards were defeated by him empty-handed.”

”There's actually such a thing?” Liu County Order revealed an astonished expression, and said: ”Master Fang, this official has a few strong men under his command.

Fatty Fang laughed: ”It's just a small matter, there's no need for Liu County Order to worry, you just need to calm the citizens, and don't let everyone panic.”

The two were talking at a distance of around twenty to thirty meters, and their voices were lowered, so they thought Jiang Xiaobai wouldn't be able to hear them.

But how would they know that Jiang Xiaobai had already heard the contents of their conversation so clearly?

Who would have thought that Fatty Fang was an official, and was even of a higher rank than the Liu County Order.

What does Yizhou City have an official that's bigger than the county magistrate mean, what does this official mean by pretending to be a medicine merchant? His subordinates are obviously stronger than the elites of the Liu County Order.

It was too strange. It made him look like a Imperial Secret Service guard.

”Bam!” Suddenly, a string snapped.

Jin Lian stood up in fear, and said: ”Master, I am clumsy, and there is a guqin downstairs, how about you let me go downstairs to get it?”

Jin Lian looked at Jiang Xiaobai eagerly. He was not going to grab Hu Qin, but rather take the chance to run away.
