The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 92: Stone Wall Lodging
The grandmaster of the Fire Dragon Palace told Jing Yang if they were ordered by the Fire Dragon Palace Patriarch to capture a five-year-old young man and middle-aged woman.
The rewards given were also very large even the abundant resources helped the development of the Fire Dragon Palace.
“So who gave you the order and gave the reward?” Ask Jing Yang. He was certain that the person who gave the order to the Fire Dragon Palace had great wealth or power. Remembering the Fire Dragon Palace was one of the biggest sects in the Jiang Empire.
There was no answer from the great warrior. While sheathing the Dragon God Sword, Jing Yang pierced the heart of the great swordsman with the Gravitational Sword.
The two people who were protecting a five-year-old child breathed a sigh of relief seeing the ten great warriors who were chasing after them had died. Before long they were again startled by Jing Yang's condition.
‘Is not this young swordsman an earth warrior?’ Thought the middle-aged man.
“Thank you, if it wasn't for the help of the two of you, maybe we'd be dead.” Then the middle-aged man saluted Jing Yang and Ye Xiaoya.
“There is no need to hesitate, besides I am with my teacher on the way. It is only natural to help people in trouble.” Jing Yang observed the five-year-old little boy. Seeing her made Jing Yang remember her past.
The middle-aged man introduced himself named Bai Huang while the middle-aged woman named Zhu Qian, and the five-year-old little boy named Bai Lang.
“They are both my wife and son, we both lived in a village close to Shendu City, but in recent months we have always been chased by warriors.” Bai Huang explained the situation if they were residents of the Qing Empire.
After evacuating to Shendu City, there was a group of warriors who killed the residents of the Qing Empire.
Jing Yang raised his eyebrows after hearing the name of the Qing Empire, he felt unable to let a child younger than him live on the run. Somehow seeing the boy's eyes made Jing Yang remember when he couldn't do anything in Yunfei City. The gleam of despair was what he saw from the two balls of the five-year-old.
“Master Xiaoya, we better stay at Cunfei City. I want them to be part of the Five Color House and I can't let them live on the run.” Jing Yang said to Ye Xiaoya quite slowly.
Ye Xiaoya smiled and took Bai Huang, Zhu Qian and Bai Lang to Cunfei City. The journey to Cunfei City was close so they only needed to walk.
The gatekeeper guarding Cunfei City knew Jing Yang for once helping to take care of the Beast. It didn't take long for them to enter Cunfei City.
The night in Cunfei City was quite crowded. Jing Yang stared at the majestic Cunfei City Mayor's Residence. He is currently looking for an inn to stay overnight. After walking around Cunfei City, Jing Yang finally arrived at the inn that had three floors. In front of the inn was clearly written the name of the inn. The name on the stone reads Stone Wall Inn.
Beside the Wall Stone Inn there is a restaurant that is still part of the inn.
“Please enter Young Master, the remaining room is only the third floor and is the best room in this inn because it can see the beauty of Cunfei City from the top floor.” A female servant welcomed Jing Yang's arrival with hospitality.
One room on the third floor cost fifteen gold pieces. The price was expensive because most of the people staying in Cunfei City were nobles and wealthy merchants. Jing Yang gave fifty pieces of gold to the servant who greeted him.
Before long the innkeeper escorted the five of them towards the third floor. The rooms provided by Stone Wall Lodging are indeed suitable for the price. Comfortable bed and wide room.
“Finished shower, we gathered in front. You three are also coming.” Ye Xiaoya opened the room door and closed it after saying so.
Bai Huang and Zhu Qian thanked Jing Yang before entering the room with Bai Lang. Before long Jing Yang also entered the room to clean his body in the bathroom that had been provided.
As the night gets darker and the atmosphere outside the inn gets more crowded. Jing Yang left the inn with Ye Xiaoya and the three people they met headed for the restaurant.
Jing Yang scrunched his forehead when he faintly sensed the aura belonging to a swordsman.
The arrival of Jing Yang and Ye Xiaoya was quite attention-grabbing as both of them carried two swords neatly sheathed at the waist. Before long a servant led them to an empty table and happened to be enough for five people.
“Give the best dishes made in this restaurant.” Ye Xiaoya started ordering while Jing Yang looked at the night sky from a chair close to the window.
It didn't take long for the restaurant waiter to provide the delicious dishes Ye Xiaoya ordered. Then they began to enjoy the delicious dishes that had been served.
Jing Yang observed the five warriors wearing hoods, some of them were sects he had encountered in the Nine Dragons Palace of the Black Pillar Tower.
Finishing dinner together, Ye Xiaoya gestured to Jing Yang with her eyes. They eavesdrop on the talk of a swordsman who was enjoying wine. From the talk that the five Black Pillar Tower warriors had made, Jing Yang had gotten a lot of information, one of them about their purpose to Cunfei City was to kidnap Lu Xiuyu.
The Black Pillar Tower was leased by Nobles Gu who intended to weaken and control the entire wealth assets of Nobles Lu. What shocked Jing Yang the most was the ambition of Noble Gu to rule the throne of the Jiang Empire.
With news of the coup and Jiang En's reputation spreading, some of the nobility continued to cooperate with Jiang En, but Duke Gu intended to weaken the other noble families before showing his fangs to Jiang En.
“Hah, really troublesome.” Ye Xiaoya sighed softly after hearing the talk of the five warriors of the Black Pillar Tower.
Across the table occupied by the five warriors of the Black Pillar Tower were two holy warriors who came from the Single Sword Mountain.
“Young Master apologizes, the two holy warriors sitting there are after us. So let us take care of them.” Bai Huang and Zhu Qian stood up from their seats towards the outside of the restaurant. Jing Yang paid for the food they had ordered, while Ye Xiaoya brought Bai Lang along.
“It seems you guys know our destination. Hand over this boy, then your life will be quiet.” The holy warrior approached Bai Huang before exiting the restaurant.
“As a newcomer I can't hurt you, but to the death I didn't give up my son!” Bao Huang hit the holy swordsman and walked out of the restaurant.
“It turns out you can talk? Nobody cares about strangers like you!” Now the other holy swordsmen unleashed a powerful blow at Bai Huang.
”Senior Bai, Senior Zhu, kill them.” Jing Yang said quite coldly and walked past the two while showing a badge that left the two of them shocked.
“Bokah, who do you think you are..”.
Zhu Qian strangled the neck of the holy swordsman and smashed it. While Bai Huang killed the saint warrior who was still sculpting in a state of shock.
Jing Yang did not care about the people looking at him in front of the restaurant. The death of the two holy warriors from the Single Sword Mountain invited the people who were enjoying the atmosphere of the night in Cunfei City to be frightened.
Bai Huang and Zhu Qian immediately carried the bodies of the two holy warriors and buried them somewhere.
When Jing Yang and Ye Xiaoya were about to return to the inn. Jing Yang briefly heard the talk of the five warriors of the Black Pillar Tower if one of the great warriors of their sect managed to capture Lu Xiuyu and threatened Lu Hen to give the position of Mayor of Cunfei City to the Nobles Gu.
“Teacher Xiaoya, I go for a while.” Jing Yang directly followed the five warriors of the Black Pillar Tower towards the outside of Cunfei City.
