Suffering a groan of pain mixed with a slight gasp, Qu Longjun was covered in sweat. Sitting on a stool under the eaves, Ning Ji pushed his arms up with his palms and rubbed his body.
His teeth were clenched and his hair was wet and became strands.
The intensive exercise in the morning had just ended, and the ensuing bleeding was not pleasant. Driven by the internal force, Ning Ji's palms were hot, guiding Qu Longjun's energy and blood to accelerate. What followed was The unparalleled soreness, numbness, and pain made Qu Longjun couldn't help but cry out.
There is also a bit of ambiguity in it.
The boy and the girl had kissed and hugged many times after confessing their feelings. It was said that they had identified each other in their hearts, but the taste of love was gradual, and after all, they had not yet taken a deeper step. At this moment, under the eaves of this morning, this Amidst the unbearable pushing and bleeding, as the palms rubbed, softer emotions actually spread in the hearts of the two of them.
She clenched her teeth tightly and the sound she made was quite slight.
After the morning class ended, the two held hands and sat on the stool for a while. Qu Longjun said "It hurts" several times before going to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes. Ning Ji left the yard and went outside to buy a large bag. After returning from the morning meal, he and Qu Longjun ate together.
"...That little demon girl Chen Shuangran may not have good intentions when she invites you over. You... spent all your energy on me this morning, but you must be careful..."
"...Well, what's the point of all this effort? I'm fine." Ning Ji was in high spirits.
This internal force of pushing the uterus through blood will indeed consume some people, but the heart-shaking, subtle and strange feelings that neither of them can express will make up for some of the losses, and even make people feel exhausted. He felt more energetic than usual. This is not easy to explain in the current era. If it comes to future generations, it can probably be described as the blessing of hormones - this is a scientific reason.
"...On your side, I'm more worried. I'll send you to a teahouse near Zuo's house today to kill time."
"Um."
"Chen Shuangran... I've thought about it. As long as I'm worse than her, she shouldn't be able to do anything to me."
"Those are bad people, don't be soft-hearted."
"Yeah." Ning Ji ate, nodded, and then paused, "...Based on what happened to Yue Yun yesterday, if these people kill anyone, they won't be considered unjust."
After breakfast, I washed myself, changed my appearance, and then went out with documents proving my identity. This morning, the atmosphere on the streets became much more chilly. The Forbidden Army was already on duty outside the city, and it was said that they would identify themselves one by one. During the investigation, although the rhetoric was not strict, everyone knew that the matter would not be trivial.
With Qu Longjun, Ning Ji made several actions to explore and escape from surveillance. He was already considered a top scout. If someone was following behind him, it would usually be difficult to escape his eyes. But for Qu Longjun's safety, these actions were taken. I felt relieved after it was doubled in strength.
Chen Shuangran's willingness to meet was brought by the Fish King last night, but judging from the little bitch's scheming, who knows if she has been planning to keep an eye on the two of them since Huaiyunfang.
If that were the case, Ning Ji wouldn't let any of those stalking them live, and it wouldn't matter if they took action in the city.
Fortunately, no such eyeliner was found.
On the way to Zuo's home, I could feel even from a distance that something was wrong with the atmosphere near Houguan County, and I could even hear people talking on the road.
"I'm afraid there's no trouble over there..."
Ning Ji and Qu Longjun looked at each other.
When the two of them summarized the information last night, this possibility had already been confirmed. The next step in framing Xiao Yameni would of course be a riot.
When they walked to the alley near Zuo's teahouse, Qu Longjun tugged at the corner of Ning Ji's clothes.
"I probably guessed what the little demon girl had in mind when she invited you over..."
"What's the idea?"
Qu Longjun leaned into his ear and whispered a few words.
…
After Qu Longjun was settled, Ning Ji headed towards the place agreed upon last night. In the distance, the atmosphere in Houguan County seemed to be noisy. He climbed to several high points and looked over, and found some forbidden troops and government officials heading towards Coming from the north of the city, observers have been arranged on many watchtowers, flags are waving, and warning hot air balloons have even been raised in the direction of the Imperial City.
Fuzhou's flag language was different from that of Southwest China. Ning Ji couldn't understand it very well. However, after briefly observing the formation of troops in the city, he found that the containment and layout of several places were clearly differentiated and related to each other. This shows that the imperial court has been prepared for this.
It’s not surprising. If you’re not prepared for something like this, you’ll be damned.
He stopped worrying and headed towards the appointed place.
Not long after, commotion broke out in the distance, and the court launched a roundup against the rioting crowd.
…
To the north of Houguan County, on the roads leading to the Criminal Department in the city, as the Imperial Army surrounded them, the people who participated in the "fun" were a little confused for a while.
The family members of the victims who were surrounded by people and cried and cried were also shocked. According to the people around them, they just went to the Ministry of Punishments to seek justice for the family members of the victims and cry for a while. This kind of thing was reported to the police two months ago. It also happened in the county. The imperial court had no temper other than sending people to appease them. Even the soldier committed suicide on the spot, and the army could only apologize. But this time, the imperial court sent the army even though it was clearly on its side. Woolen cloth?
"...Guards and officials protect each other!" Someone hesitated for a moment and shouted loudly, "Everyone is indeed right. They have secretly let Xiaoya Nei escape——"
"Bei Weijun is also this kind of thing..."
"The little Yameni is riding a horse to commit murder——"
"How can the government do this..."
"Is there any more royal law?"
One after another, there was a surge of public sentiment.
In the crowd, the government's spies pointed and circled people, and the soldiers at the top were already keeping an eye on important targets in the crowd.
At this moment, the first row of people holding water and fire sticks pushed into the crowd and executed the arrest.
With a sound of "Clang--", someone in the crowd drew a sword, and then was knocked to the ground by an arrow flying from a high place.
The moment blood spattered, the rest of the Green Forest people mixed in the crowd suddenly broke out. Some of them were the backbone of the group who had been ordered by their superiors. They already understood that this time things were different from usual, and there were more who came after hearing about Chen Shuangran's great achievements.
The green forest heroes who were joining in the fun and seeking qualifications were trying to find a place to escape. Only then did they realize that several streets and alleys in front and behind had been blocked by the government.
"Kill--"
Fire sticks, fishing nets, and shackles rushed into the crowd, and chaos exploded...
To the west, on a building further away, Chen Shuangran put down her binoculars, stared and smiled: "It's really... a fight started..." She looked at Mr. Jin aside.
Mr. Jin also laughed: "I have said before that the imperial court will not just swallow its anger. The second time it makes trouble, it will definitely be beaten."
"Fortunately, I have Mr.'s guidance."
"It depends on the hard work of the people in the game."
"...Qiu Laohu has a bad temper and has no good intentions, and so do Liang Run and his gang...they have to fight."
The two of them looked at each other for a while while holding the telescope.
In the distant market, the green forest people who gathered did not restrain themselves. Under the instigation of some leaders, they drew their weapons and fought hard, while some people were looking for a way to leave. The siege by nearby officers and soldiers lasted for several lines.
The block was such a large area, and they thought there would always be a way to escape. However, most of the people who happened to be surrounded in the middle were ordered to squat on the ground, while a small number were dragged forward and rushed forward, crying.
As expected, the leaders of the two green forest forces who were in charge of inciting and cooperating in the crowd, Qiu Huhu and Liang Run, did not surrender immediately, but chose to escalate the situation.
Mr. Jin put down the lookout: "It's time for me to go."
"Take care, sir." Chen Shuangran said, "It's okay if it doesn't work. I just hope that sir can come back safely."
The other party sneered, turned around and disappeared outside the door.
…
Not long after the sounds of fighting and killing rang out from afar, Ning Ji arrived at the agreed upon location.
There is a long street with lush trees in the west of the city, which can avoid some surveillance from high places, but the road is not sparsely populated, at least it is not a good place for hunting and killing.
He walked slowly forward for a while, and someone bumped into him in front of him.
It was a young man with disheveled hair. He should have practiced some martial arts. He pretended not to look at the road. When he got close, he pressed a piece of paper into Ning Ji's arms and said: "My master said, Heyun Tan at the foot of Jiuxian Mountain
See."
Ning Ji had already caught the piece of paper and opened it to see a simple map crookedly drawn on it. The artist didn't know if it was Chen Shuangran.
It's quite humorous.
The young man who had delivered the message had already run a few feet back. He had completed his mission and there was nothing going on here anymore. However, as soon as he relaxed, someone suddenly grabbed his arm.
The young man he had passed on to had appeared next to him like a ghost and pinched his arm.
"Well……"
Turning to look at each other, he didn't quite understand.
"Who is your master?"
"You...you will know when you go see..."
"You said you would go and see me when you see me?"
"You..." He was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you come here to see that person...?"
The young man's stature was lower than him, but the aura exuding from his body was definitely not that of a kind person. As soon as he finished speaking, his arm suddenly hurt. The other party increased the strength of his grip, and he almost felt that his bones were about to break.
Come.
"Ahhhhhh...wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, young hero, I am just a messenger, I am just a messenger. My boss is not the person you want to see. He also received orders from others.
It’s just a note to convey a message, young hero—I don’t know what you do—”
"You come with me."
"Wha, what... look..."
The man turned his head to the side, and then tried to shout while trying to break away. The next moment, the other hand directly grabbed his throat and squeezed him until he fell to his knees on the ground and leaned back.
.
He couldn't make any sound, only the breath from his mouth and nose weakened, and his face turned red.
The young man looked at him condescendingly and coldly. When his face almost turned the color of pig liver, he gently let go of the hand holding the other man's throat.
The young man who had just returned from hell was kneeling on the ground, coughing and breathing hard.
"You dare to scream." He heard the young man say in his ear, "I will strangle you to death in front of everyone."
The street was not empty of people. Not far away, an aunt who was shopping for groceries looked at this scene in amazement, then hugged her basket and walked over quickly.
"Young hero... I really took five coins to send a message... Why do you want me to go over there..."
The young man did not dare to resist anymore and led the way towards the agreed place.
He heard the young man reply from behind.
"The person I made an appointment with is not a good person. If she plays tricks, I will let you die on her face..."
This place is actually not far from Jiuxian Mountain. The two of them walked one after the other towards that side. As they walked, the young man chatted with the young man who was passing the message on various topics, such as who the boss was and where he made a living.
How many people are there in the family? The young man answered almost crying.
We arrived near the pond called He Yun Tan. The pond is not small. There are several loess roads around it. There are trees on the roadside. You can even see a few tea stalls from far and near. However, it seems that there is no very special person waiting there.
Ning Ji frowned and waited with the other party at the fork in the road.
"Where are the people?"
he asked the young man in front.
The young man was trembling all over: "I'm just a messenger..."
During this conversation, a middle-aged green forest man walked over from the side, got close, and said: "This middle road, go forward and turn right."
When the words came to him, he moved forward and left. Before he could take two steps, his shoulder was grabbed.
The green forest man turned his head and looked unkind: "Brother, I'm just passing on a message. Isn't it a bit rude of you to do this..."
He also had considerable confidence in his own art, so he immediately used his talons to hold the palm on his shoulder.
The next moment, he was crushed by a mountain-like weight, his body tilted, and with a muffled thud, he knelt down on the loess road.
Twisting his head back, the cold-faced young man looked at him condescendingly.
"Brother." He held his hand, "I'm just a messenger, what are you..."
"The messenger..."
The young man raised his hand and slapped him across the face.
Then there was another slap.
"I asked you to deliver a message! I asked you to deliver a message! Let you go..."
Amidst the curses, he was beaten five or six times in succession until his face was swollen and his nose was mixed with blood.
The sun cast its shadow through the trees beside the pond. Soon after, on the loess road, a young man with an unlucky face and a Green Forester who had been beaten into a pig's head were walking forward side by side. Both of them were crying a little.
Behind them, the young man walked forward indifferently.
No matter how cheap Chen Shuangran is, as long as he is even more unworthy, he will never lose to her!
I'm going to scare this bastard to death——
…
To the north of Houguan County, fighting and chaos continued for a while.
The government was well prepared for the arrest, and Chen Shuangran seemed to understand that such a thing would happen, so the Green Forest people who were arranged to take advantage of the situation took action and started a riot, causing a series of moderate casualties.
The Green Forest Man who was trapped in it may not have understood that he had become an outcast, and even fought with extra vigor at first, thinking that this was just a game that Chen Shuangran had planned, and there must be a back-up plan to allow him to leave.
.
Because of this fierce resistance, it was more difficult to control the situation than imagined. Some officers actively went to catch those who were causing trouble. After communicating with Zuo Wenxuan, Tie Tianying also joined the battle himself and first stopped a group of martial artists.
Strong green forest man.
After subduing a bandit leader, Tie Tianying knew that the riots here could no longer cause problems. The court was prepared, and Chen Shuangran seemed to have made arrangements. The two sides had made a clear move, and the court took advantage.
It doesn't seem like a big deal, but what we really want to uncover today is actually the line on Zuo Wenrui's side.
It should have already started...
He calculated the progress of the arrangement in his mind, but there was always some kind of vague spying that made him alert.
Tie Tianying's eyes wandered around the perimeter of the encirclement, and then, with a few convoys, he moved towards a certain direction.
At the other end of the street outside the encirclement, a figure suddenly fell into his sight.
With his eyes focused, he quickened his pace and rushed over there.
The figure in the distance also turned around and disappeared around the corner of the street.
Tie Tianying picked up a military horse and charged in that direction. The nearby policemen also looked for their mounts to follow.
The figure seemed to be invisible, like a ghost. Tie Tianying turned around several long streets, and there was a panic sound from behind. It should be that a vegetable vendor on the street blocked the path of the entourage, and there was a small chaos. But he didn't
Stop and wait, but continue to chase forward.
In a certain lane, he even got off his horse and ran on foot. Even though he was old, his breathing was even and his steps were still as fast as a galloping horse.
At the fork in the road near Jiuxian Mountain, it seemed that he had lost track of someone, but Tie Tianying thought for a moment and walked leisurely in a certain direction.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves and cast shadows on the loess road. Tie Tianying walked through the road with light and dark, and when he turned a corner, he saw the man in gray robe sitting under the tea shed not far away. He was strangely confused.
Although he was wearing a mask, he still recognized the person at first sight.
"Fan Zhong, Brother Fan... it is indeed you."
The old man laughed.
"'Golden Eyes Thousand Lings' is well-deserved. After so many years..."
