Chapter 14

"Is there anyone else who wants to take action?" Shen Xingliu adjusted his breathing, looked around at the dark roofs, and shouted loudly: "If nothing happens, go back and wash up, it's such a waste of time at night."

After a long silence, several black shadows swept away on their own and disappeared under the cover of night.

Seeing this, Shen Xingliu pushed up his tired body and returned to the dim lobby. Tang Xuanxuan wanted to help him, but was stopped by his eyes.

After all, he didn't know how many people were coveting him in the dark, so he couldn't show weakness.

Tang Xuanxuan threw him a porcelain bottle and said, "Xingliu, please take the elixir in the bottle and meditate for a while."

Shen Xingliu opened the porcelain bottle without any pretense, swallowed a pill, and returned to his seat to meditate and adjust his breath. He felt that his internal strength had improved a bit after the battle just now.

In this way, Shen Xingliu repelled three more killers who came to kill Taoist Lingzhu one night.

In the early morning, Taoist Lingzhu's aura of inner enlightenment gradually dissipated, and now only a faint glimmer of light could be seen, as well as his rosy face, as full of energy as if he had regained his youth.

Early in the morning, the door of the escort agency was kicked open by an official, and a group of officials swarmed into the courtyard. The leader was the county captain of Dingyuan County.

He held a waist knife and frowned at the messy scene.

"Who is making trouble here? Come out quickly." The county lieutenant shouted loudly when he saw three people sitting cross-legged in the hall.

Shen Xingliu opened his eyes and strode out of the lobby. He placed the black knife in the hall.

"Who are you?" The county captain asked in a slightly better tone when he saw that the visitor was not carrying weapons.

"Don't worry about who I am, do you recognize this brand?" Shen Xingliu took out the gold medal and waved it in front of his eyes, saying

The county lieutenant frowned, wanting to take a closer look, and said, "Is this?"

"This is my humble duty, and I would like to pay homage to Your Majesty!"

The county captain was horrified and hurriedly knelt down. The first gold medal since the founding of this dynasty now appeared in front of him. How could he not be afraid?

When the officials saw the county captain's actions, they knelt down and screamed.

Shen Xingliu had the mentality of giving it a try. He had heard Pang Junde say how easy it was to win the gold medal, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"Please get up quickly, please get up quickly." Shen Xingliu was startled and quickly put away the gold medal to help the county captain.

The county lieutenant was flattered for a moment, stood up tremblingly, cupped his hands and said, "I wonder if you are here incognito, what's the tolerance?"

Shen Xingliu's face turned red and he said: "Don't call me sir, I have no official position. My surname is Shen and my given name is Xingliu."

"It turns out to be Mr. Shen." The county captain said with his hands in hand, becoming more humble than before.

"As long as you have heard my name," Shen Xingliu clasped his fists and returned the salute: "There should be many wanted criminals among the dozens of people in the field, who were killed by the senior people in the hall. You guys put this place

Clean it up and don't disturb the old repairmen."

When the county lieutenant heard that there was a wanted criminal, he immediately asked his subordinates to look through it.

"Hey, don't touch those poisonous salts with bare hands." Shen Xingliu reminded.

"Yes, Mr. Shen." The officer who was looking through the pages heard the words and said with fists in his hands.

The gratitude was overwhelming in my words. Especially when I saw the faces of the people present, their faces were stained black by the poisonous salt.

The county lieutenant took a stack of wanted warrants and compared them one by one. Many of them were important criminals wanted by the court. After comparing them, he collected the bodies one by one.

Half an hour later, the venue was cleared.

The county captain stepped forward and said gratefully: "I don't know who the senior is, can we thank him in person?"

Shen Xingliu looked at the hall with a troubled face. The old man seemed to show no sign of wanting to wake up.

"Old seniors are still in the process of enlightenment. If you want to thank me, let me convey it to you. The Fuyuan Escort Bureau has Laogui County to bury the good people," Shen Xingliu said apologetically: "In addition, there is a Yuelai Inn in the town. I solved two gangs yesterday. Bandit, as for the reward, just give it to the shopkeeper."

"This matter has been taken care of by me, but we have to rush to the inn immediately. Please help Shen Shaoxia Dingyuan County for me. Thank you senior."

The county lieutenant hurried to the Yuelai Inn and called on the officials to leave in a hurry.

Shen Xingliu returned to the hall and saw Tang Xuanxuan with a sad face.

He took Tang Xuanxuan's hand and said, "Look, you haven't slept all night, and you are almost turning into a little bamboo bear. If you don't take a rest, I will go to the seniors to discuss the matter, and I will definitely give both parties a fair outcome."

"You will make me happy, but in the final analysis, this matter is related to the Tang Sect, how can I blame you?" Tang Xuanxuan said with red eyes and tears shining in her eyes.

"Fool, your business is my business." Shen Xingliu wiped the tears from her eyes and said softly.

The two of them felt like there would be no tomorrow after today, and they kept talking about love.

"Cough cough cough!"

There was a coughing sound in the hall. Taoist Lingzhu heard the two people's words and coughed a few times in embarrassment, thinking that it's great to be young.

"Ah, so senior is awake?" Shen Xingliu stood up shamelessly and said with an awkward smile.

Tang Xuanxuan blushed and hid behind Shen Xingliu, screaming in her heart, how could she see anyone now?

Taoist Lingzhu stood up and bowed: "Actually, Pindao has always been sober. This time, I would like to thank my little friend for protecting Pindao and repelling powerful enemies."

"Senior, you're too polite, actually..."

Before Shen Xingliu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Taoist Lingzhu.

"Little friend, there is no need to say more. Pindao said last night that death is like a lamp going out. There will be no more Pei Dongsheng in the world but Taoist Lingzhu." Taoist Lingzhu closed his eyes and bowed.

Tang Xuanxuan felt sad and said, "But those are the lives of twenty-three members of the Taoist Priest's younger brother's family."

"Hey, when will the injustice be repaid? The Tang Clan is just suspicious. If you have any knots in your heart, you can find out on your own. If the Tang Clan didn't do it, the knot will naturally be untied."

Taoist Lingzhu paused for a moment, then continued: "If it was done by someone from the Tang Sect, I can handle it myself. If you still have knots in your heart, you can come to Funiu Mountain to find a way out of poverty."

"The poor Taoist will do his best to help you two resolve this knot." Taoist Lingzhu's detached mind has already seen through life and death.

"Taoist Master." The two of them shouted in unison.

"Needless to say, here are my Three Taoist Meditation Techniques. I give them to my two little friends to repay the kindness of protecting the Dharma for a night." Taoist Master Lingzhu took out a booklet from the sleeve of his Taoist robe and said.

Shen Xingliu hurriedly took the booklet and said, "Thank you, Taoist Master, for the instructions."

"Hahaha, Tao is ruthless but has feelings," Taoist Lingzhu said with a smile while stroking his beard: "My little friend, you still need to slowly understand the cause and effect."

"I'm going to leave you." Taoist Lingzhu looked at Shen Xingliu who was thinking, smiled and walked away.

Shen Xingliu held the booklet and muttered: "What is Tao? Sentence? Heartlessness? Should we let nature take its course, or go against nature?"

Tang Xuanxuan watched him chanting in ecstasy, put her cold little hand on his hand, and looked at him with a worried look.

When Shen Xing was in a state of trance, he was gradually awakened by the coldness in his hands. Looking at his worried little face, he grinned and said: "Fuck it, I am who I am!"

He held her little hand with his backhand and said, "If anyone dares to hurt you, I will cut off one of their fingers."

When Tang Xuanxuan saw him waking up, his eyebrows were curved like crescent moons, and his sweet smile was as charming as the fragrance of flowers, and said: "Yes, I believe it."

"It's okay if you don't look at this."

After saying that, he was about to throw away the Three Pure Heart Art Techniques in his hand.

Tang Xuanxuan grabbed the three tactics and said, "If you don't want it, don't throw it away. You can read it if you feel upset later."

"Just put it here with me first." Tang Xuanxuan put the Three Secrets of Pure Heart into her treasure bag.

Shen Xingliu took Tang Xuanxuan's little hand and strode out of the escort agency door.

After last night, everything here is over.

The officials were busy calling people and vendors to the streets.

The town suddenly became lively again and regained its former prosperity, but they all rushed to tell about the battle last night as if they were there right there.

The person who personally experienced this incident was haggling with the boss at a wonton stall.

"A bowl of wontons costs fifteen copper coins, which is too dark."

Shen Xingliu came over with two bowls of wontons with an unhappy look on his face and sat next to Tang Xuanxuan who was watching the show.

"You, are you still a hero?" Tang Xuanxuan held the steaming Chaos in the palm of her hand and said, "If others knew you were doing it for three or five copper coins, would they laugh at you?"

Shen Xingliu said angrily: "Heroes also want to eat, right? Just laugh, I'm afraid they won't laugh as loudly as me."

Tang Xuanxuan was in a good mood, scooped up wontons with a spoon and ate them slowly.

He was sulking and finished the meal in a few bites, then pestered the boss and asked for a bowl of wonton soup. He was really happy.

After eating and drinking, the two people walked away under the resentful eyes of the stall owner.

Tang Xuanxuan covered her mouth and snickered, but he looked indifferent.

Arriving at the door of the inn, Pang Junde rubbed his hands and walked back and forth, looking very anxious.

"I'm going, Brother Shen, where did you two go last night?" Pang Junde saw the two people who had disappeared all night, and hurriedly came forward to greet them and said.

"I don't know, I thought you two eloped last night." Pang Junde said unabashedly.

Tang Xuanxuan's face turned red with embarrassment, she quickly ran to the carriage and "poofed" at Pang Junde, who had a stunned face.

"Old Pang, you slept so well last night," Shen Xingliu teased him.

Pang Junde said with lingering fear: "Why should I sleep? I heard ghosts screaming all night last night."

"Oh? What are they called?" Shen Xingliu asked interestingly.

Pang Junde raised his head and said: "I didn't hear clearly, it seemed like something. My head was covered, so there is no disaster or worry."

Shen Xingliu laughed at him and said: "It's probably some leftist side who did this. Last night in the escort agency, it was a lively event."

"Brother Shen, tell me," Pang Junde said curiously, "Hey, don't leave!"

Shen Xingliu smiled and walked towards the carriage without saying a word. Pang Junde pestered him and insisted on listening to the story.

The three of them are still half a day's journey from Yuzhou City.
