The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 257 - Lan Hai's
“Am I overreacting? Looks like I'm getting used to killing..” Jing Yang let out a long sigh looking at the dozens of corpses of floating pirates.
“What should we do with this? Do I need to freeze it?” Xue Bingyue approached Jing Yang and commented on Jing Yang's actions that killed the members of the Dragon Spear Pirates.
Jing Yang signaled Xue Bingyue to use it so as not to freeze it first, “Follow me, Yueyue. Wasn't that ship a private ship the Dragon Spear Mask? He was very careless for escaping and leaving this ship.”.
Jing Yang checked all the documents that did not reach dozens. The document belonging to the Dragon Spear Mask contains a woman named Zhang Sue who is arguably the most influential figure because she is the wife of Mayor Jiyangma.
In the document it is described if Zhang Sue's husband pretended to be dead. The figure of one of the two Deadly Twin Demons named Ren Xin holding Zhang Sue's husband hostage. The true incident was that Zhang Sue's husband sold Zhang Sue to Ren Xin with the guarantee of her staying alive.
And the identity of the Dragon Spear Mask was Ren Xing, one of the two Deadly Twin Demons. Jing Yang himself was shocked to learn of the figure of Ren Xing who hated his own brother so much, Ren Xin.
“It looks like the problem in Jiyangma City is more complicated than Rongma, Yangyang.” Xue Bingyue herself was still inexperienced regarding the matter regarding romance.
But Xue Bingyue could tell if Ren Xing hated Ren Xin so much. And what Xue Bingyue asked was the reason Ren Xing hated Ren Xin.
“Some information is only about Zhang Sue and Juan Fu destinations. Is there nothing else?” Jing Yang rummaged through something in the box.
‘At least I have to find something more valuable-’ Jing Yang frowned when he found a letter belonging to the Dragon Spear Mask.
The letter explained about Tang Mu and Ho Xing intending to give Ren Xin the Pure Devil Blood Pill. Jing Yang could guess if one of the people close to Tang Mu was involved in this matter. I don't know what the purpose was, but Ren Xing's figure was manipulated.
“Pil Pure Devil Blood..” Finally Jing Yang read through all the documents before taking out some of the treasures that the Dragon Spear Pirates possessed.
“Do you steal?” Xue Bingyue squatted down beside Jing Yang as she sneered.
“I didn't steal.” Jing Yang shook his head while both of his hands were busy picking up some jewelry and some money.
“Then what are you doing?” Xue Bingyue sighed.
“I just take the stolen goods of the residents of Jiyangma, then will return it to them.” Jing Yang stood up and cleaned both of his hands.
Xue Bingyue was silent and followed where Jing Yang was walking. The two destroyed the evidence of the destruction of the Dragon Spear Pirates before Jing Yang finally decided to enter Jiyangma City.
After burning the entire corpse of the Dragon Spear Pirates or freezing the ships belonging to the Dragon Spear Pirates and smashing them without a remnant, Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue walked leisurely on the water.
The two walked into a tunnel that went straight to Jiyangma City. Jing Yang had only followed the path that the Dragon Spear Mask had taken because he had marked the man's body.
Many ships emptied near the settlement. The market above the river was only the first time Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue saw, as quickly as possible the two of them immediately mixed among the people because they did not want anyone to be suspicious.
Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue jumped on one of the clothes-selling ships, the action of Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue of course got a reprimand from the clothes seller.
“What are you two doing on my boat? If you want to buy clothes, I will forgive your actions!” The seller looked at Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue with an angry expression.
“Only because you have a noble and a swordsman, you are always at will. If Madam Zhang does not protect us, we have all decided to kill people like you despite our lives as a bet.” The seller was not clear.
“Sorry Uncle, if I make you angry. Then I'll buy all these clothes.” Jing Yang said to the seller, but his eyes were fixed on the townspeople wearing tattered clothes were not worth looking at.
“Hmmm..” Xue Bingyue was astonished by Jing Yang's remark.
The clothes seller was surprised, “You want to buy all these clothes? Do you have any money? All this merchandise is worth a hundred thousand gold pieces. Do you have it?”
‘Whose this boy is actually who? Wait a minute, he flew and jumped with this little girl, didn't he? Are they both warriors? But I've never seen these two guys.’ The seller closely watched Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue before drawing a conclusion.
“It seems you are not from Jiyangma. I don't know what you're thinking of going to a secluded place like this, but I can only suggest this to you, boy. If you don't want your little girl to suffer, I suggest you and her get out of town.” The clothes seller took the money Jing Yang gave him and smiled widely while counting it.
Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue were silent because they had just discovered the identity of the seller. Jing Yang did not expect the seller to be so observant.
Seeing Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue staring at him, the clothes seller finally sighed and brought his ship to a boil.
“Just calm down, I'll shut up. You two are my customers. I will not betray my customers. Instead of that, what did you buy all my merchandise for?” The clothes seller asked Jing Yang.
Jing Yang pointed at the poor Jiyangma residents, besides they all looked extremely hungry, they were also wearing unworthy clothes. Even worse Jing Yang was astonished because the population settlements on the right there were no people who were starving and lacking, while for the population settlements were just the opposite.
“Bokah, are you sure? The lord of Jiyangma City, that damn Ren Xin deliberately made this city become like this. The residents that were across were the settlements of the poor people who could not pay taxes to the damn Ren Xin!”
The clothes seller looked furious as he told the real reason that happened in Jiyangma City. Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue looked at each other, both feeling that they would get various information about Jiyangma City from the clothes seller.
“I myself want to help them all, but if I can't pay taxes then my daughter is at stake. My wife had long since died before this city was overrun by the people of Ma..” The salesman again blabbed and closed his eyes for a long time before finally staring intently at Jing Yang.
“You must know that, right? Iji City was the territory of the Jiang Empire, but as it was closer to the Ma Empire and the Yun Empire, eventually those foolish officials went hands off with what happened in Jiyangma. Access to Jiyangma is difficult because it passes through the waterway. In addition, only through Rongma to pass the land route. I hope that the people from Ma treat us well, but quite the opposite. But the Ma people are better than the Jiang people who ignore us.” The seller frowned and said again, “And who are you? Depending on your answer, I will help you.”
“Before that, can we introduce each other Uncle?” Jing Yang reached out his hand and the seller shook it. The two met and told each other their names.
The clothes seller was named Lan Hai. Lan Hai had been selling in the floating market for the past few years to support himself and his son.
As Lan Hai found out Jing Yang's name, Lan Hai's expression looked ordinary as if he had never heard of Jing Yang's name before.
“Jing Which? What a good name. And this little girl of yours is named Xue Bingyue. Your name is very compatible.” Lan Hai stroked his chin and laughed.
“Alright, I'd better take the clothes ordered by you there.” Lan Hai paddled his ship and anchored in the left-hand settlement.
Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue saw Lan Hai handing out all the clothes that Jing Yang had bought to the deprived residents. Jing Yang took out a sum of money and divided it equally to the residents.
“Use this money improve your life. I can't help any further, but wait a minute because I'll free you all.” Jing Yang smiled at the residents and clenched his hands tightly.
Lan Hai frowned, “So I'd say I would help you if you said your goal right? Now it's time you told me.”
Jing Yang stared at Lan Hai for a long time. Then he looked at Xue Bingyue waiting for Xue Bingyue's reaction. For about five seconds, Xue Bingyue was silent before finally nodding her head.
“I only want to atone for the deeds of my predecessors. At least this is what I can do as Emperor Jiang. I want to know my people.” Jing Yang said that casually.
“What are you talking about? An Emperor Jiang-” Lan Hai's voice choked. His eyes widened staring at Jing Yang for a long time before finally shouting involuntarily. As everyone turned their heads towards him, Lan Hai scratched his head.
“So you said Suara? I heard that you have slaughtered the people of the Ma Empire who a few weeks ago took control of Jiyangma.” Lan Hai held onto Jing Yang's shoulder and shook it.
“Cute me. According to the words of Suter, maybe the one who saved Jiyangma is you. No, the only person who can save Jiyangma is you.”Lan Hai's words made Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue gasp in shock.
Before the two of them spoke, Lan Hai first pulled his second hand to board the ship.
