The person on top of the city wall, upon hearing the words, saw the smile on his face slowly disappear as he expressionlessly looked down at the dozen or so men in black, speaking with a measured tone, "I said, this is Lu Ting!"
The black-robed man with a goatee beard stared at him steadily, with a suddenly arrogant and wild smile replacing a somewhat humble one on his face: "I am well aware that this place is Lu Ting... so what?"
The man on the city wall laughed at his arrogance and generously threw up a thumbs up: "You’re awesome, and your Five Poisons Cult is damn awesome!"
The black-robed goateed man lowered the broadsword from his back and sneered, "You flatter me!"
"Not at all!"
The man on the city wall immediately responded, "I’ll only ask you one more question... with all this bravery of yours, does your Hall Master, your Sect Hierarch know about it?"
The black-robed goateed man laughed loudly, "Just so you know, all three hundred thousand followers of our cult have the same courage as I do, so think carefully before you act... and don’t bring disasters upon your Erlang!"
The man on the city wall’s eyes suddenly widened, and he almost couldn’t help but give him another thumbs up... Life is short, and yet you choose the shortcut! Awesome!
Not wanting to waste more words, he gestured backward, and a bunch of guards in embroidered uniforms popped out on top of the city wall, aiming well-strung hand crossbows at the group of men in black: "The gate is right here, if you’ve got the guts, just try to come through!"
The black-robed goateed man tightened his grip on the broadsword, squinting with a cold smile, "Oh really? Well, today I do want to give it a try!"
...
Yuelai Inn.
Yang Ge sat on top of four men piled up haphazardly, one atop the other, and smacked the man under him, Xiao Baoqi, asking, "Convinced yet?"
Xiao Baoqi, sporting a pair of black eyes, propped on the hoodlum beneath him, struggled to look up and answered, "Convinced, convinced..."
Yang Ge: "Louder, I can’t hear you!"
Xiao Baoqi: "We’re convinced, we’re all convinced!"
Hoodlum: "Big brother, spare our lives, we won’t dare to gossip about you again!"
Flea: "Really, we won’t..."
Yang Ge clapped his hands and leisurely got up: "Next time you dare gossip about me, I’ll break all three of your legs!"
Over there, Zhao Cha covered her face with her hands, her shoulders shaking violently.
Yang Ge glanced at her: "Don’t laugh, if you dare learn their vulgar language again, I’ll break your legs too!"
The disgruntled hoodlums getting up behind him, hearing this, said indignantly, "Big brother, that’s not fair! Why don’t you break her three legs too?"
Xiao Baoqi couldn’t stand it any longer, pounced on him like a hungry tiger, and started throwing punches, "Are you an animal? Does she have a third leg?"
The nearby Flea clenched his fists tightly to cheer him on: "Give him a good beating, if it wasn’t for his bullshit, the three of us wouldn’t have gotten whacked!"
Zhao Cha couldn’t hold back any longer and doubled over clutching her belly, giggling, "Geese, geese, geese..."
Yang Ge, no longer bothering with these roughnecks, pondered heading to the kitchen to make some dry food as a gift for Zhao Cha to take back, when suddenly he heard a "boom" from the direction of the east city gate.
He turned his head in surprise, and in the next second, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
The others, still playfully searching around, saw only the thick curtains fluttering.
Xiao Baoqi, loosening his wrists, climbed up from the hoodlum: "The East City Gate?"
Flea, surprised, took over, "No way, someone dares to cause trouble in Lai Lu Ting?"
The hoodlum, rubbing his head as he got up, said, "Which brave man is it? Next year I, Niu Meng, will definitely burn incense for him!"
Xiao Baoqi: "Isn’t it easy, let’s just go and see, right?"
Flea: "Let’s go, let’s go..."

Zhao Cha, snapping back to reality, hurriedly followed the quartet, yelling, "Take me with you, take me with you, I’ve never seen a fight before!"
The four of them looked back at her disdainfully: "Take you with us?"
"Break three legs?"
"You know where it’s cool? Go there and stay cool!"
"Having big boobs means no loyalty!"
"Crap, you’re serious?"
"Let’s go, let’s go, don’t even say you know us brothers after this!"
"Right, right, right, we don’t know any crap-ass mules!"
"You three illiterates, say it again, my name is Xun Shi, that character is pronounced ’Xun’, not ’dog’!"
"Crap is still better than seeking death, isn’t it? You really don’t appreciate favors!"
"Let’s go, let’s go, don’t talk too much with him, or else when Big brother Yang gets back, it’ll be our brothers who end up covered in blood..."
The four of them quickened their pace, and upon leaving the inn, they all leaped three zhang high, bounding from one snow-covered roof to another. In just a few jumps, they had disappeared from sight.
Leaving behind Zhao Cha at the entrance of the inn, jumping up and down and yelling after their retreating backs, "Lousy bums without loyalty, just wait until Big Yang gets back, and you’ll see if I don’t snitch on you— that’ll settle it!"
