Chapter 126 Dare to Love, Dare to Hate, Ask for the Moon
"How cruel!" Xiao Zhou sighed as he looked at their leaving figures.
"They are indeed quite ruthless. Even poor Taoists are not as ruthless as them." Taoist Master Xuanyang nodded with deep sympathy.
Shen Yiming glared at them, "Let's forget it, Xiao Zhou. Since when did you, Taoist Priest, start fooling around?"
His eyes fell on Xiao Ran.
"After working for such a long time, the case is finally over. I have nothing to do during this period, so I can just rest for two or three days."
Xiao Zhou rushed ahead and said, "Sir, you have made such a great contribution this time. What reward will you get from above?"
Shen Yiming pondered for a moment.
Then shook his head.
"The eighteenth prince died, the twelve princes were deposed, and the ninth prince was tortured by us until he only had half his life left. He also lost face in front of the civil and military ministers, and still wants to reward him? Do you think it is possible?"
"No way?" Xiao Zhou was dumbfounded.
Shen Yiming kicked him angrily.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's go out first."
A group of people left Purgatory and arrived at the lobby on the first floor.
The captain came up quickly and rubbed his hands, "Sir, are you free tonight?"
His eyes mainly fell on Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran said: "If you have anything to say, you can tell me."
"Well, I'm the host, and I want to invite everyone to get together."
Xiao Ran looked at Shen Yiming and the other three, and saw that they were all looking at him. He decided as he pleased. Counting this time, it was already the third invitation.
He pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay to gather together."
"My lords, please wait a moment. I'm going to change my clothes right now." The captain said happily and ran towards the quiet room not far away.
Shen Yiming joked, "Why did you agree to him?"
"Zhang Yu is a pretty good person. He doesn't have any major problems. His ability to do things is not bad. He can help him a lot." Xiao Ran said.
"Yeah." Shen Yiming nodded.
At this time.
Zhang Yu had already changed his clothes and came over.
"For keeping the adults waiting, let's go to Zuixianyuan."
Xiao Zhou was nervous and had a strange look on his face, and suggested: "Chunfangyuan is also good, how about we go to Chunfangyuan!"
Shen Yiming joked: "Are you afraid?"
Xiao Zhou was anxious, "Nonsense! How could I be afraid? Then again, what do I have to be afraid of?"
"Where to go?" Xiao Ran continued.
I saw them working together to bully me.
Xiao Zhou was very hurt, gritted his teeth and said: "Go! Why not go?"
Only Zhang Yu didn't understand the inside story, looking like a monk Zhang Er was confused.
A group of people left the prison and walked towards Zuixianyuan.
Got here.
The guard at the door greeted him warmly.
Especially when he saw Xiao Zhou, he nodded and bowed, "Master Zhou, Master Xiao, Master Shen, you are here!"
Xiao Zhou pointed at Zhang Yu and said, "My friends are treating me to a treat."
"I understand, little one!" the guard showed a look of understanding.
Looking at the guests coming in and out around him, Shen Yiming asked curiously, "Are you doing activities today? Is there a 50% discount? Or is it free to eat, drink and have fun?"
The guard explained: "Isn't this the exam question case that has been solved? These people were so happy that they called their friends to celebrate. From the afternoon until now, there have been waves after waves. They are all full. There is no place to sit even in the lobby. Not only here, but also at Chunfangyuan and others. But our place is big enough, and after renovation, it can accommodate more people than other places."
Zhang Yu was unwilling to give in and finally persuaded Xiao Ran and others. Now that they are at the door, is it possible that they still have to go back home?
"Is there really no room? Can't we just squeeze in?"
Seeing Xiao Ran and the others looking at him, Xiao Zhou stamped his feet and took a step back in fear.
"Hey! What are you looking at? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Shen Yiming kicked him in the butt, "Why don't you hurry up and make arrangements."
"This, this..."
"Go quickly!" Shen Yiming said.
"You are bullying people!" After saying this, Xiao Zhou hurriedly ran inside.
Zhang Yu touched his head and asked doubtfully, "Does he know the steward here?"
"Haha..." Xiao Ran and the other two laughed dumbly.
"Don't ask." Xiao Ran said.
a while.
Sister Yan personally welcomed him out. Looking at Xiao Zhou, he looked as wilted as an eggplant beaten by frost.
"Brother Xiao, Master Shen, Taoist Priest, why didn't you notify me when you were coming? I could greet you in advance."
Looking at the guard.
"Next time Brother Xiao and the others come, please notify me immediately."
His eyes fell on Zhang Yu, "Who is this?"
Xiao Zhou introduced: "He is Zhang Yu, Tianlao Colonel, and he is treating us this time."
"It turns out to be Mr. Zhang. Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!" Sister Yan said with a smile.
Under her leadership.
A group of people entered Zuixianyuan, but they did not go to the third floor. The front was already full.
This time we came to the backyard.
The room is bigger and more luxurious.
Sister Yan asked people to serve wine and food, and said with a smile: "You are here at the right time. There happens to be a group of criminals' family members to be dealt with at the Jiaofang Division, and there are some good things among them. Call us over, and the one with the highest price will get it. I bought it at a great price. Please wait a moment and I will make arrangements for you."
Looking at Xiao Zhou.
"Excuse me, Mr. Zhou, to come over and help me."
"I, I want to accompany Brother Xiao and the others." Xiao Zhou hesitated.
Bang!
Xiao Ran hit him on the head and said, "I don't need your company here."
Looking at Sister Yan.
"I'll forget it."
"Okay." Sister Yan knew Xiao Ran's rules. Every time she came over, she only drank and did nothing else. She wasn't just pretending.
Xiao Zhou reluctantly followed and left.
Zhang Yu was even more confused, "What, what is going on?"
Xiao Ran said: "I'm not an outsider, there's nothing I can't say."
He briefly told what happened.
"!!!" Zhang Yu was completely convinced.
"Talent! I saw it when I was in Tianlao. The first time I went on a blind date with a female ghost, and the second time I heard that the blind date was the daughter of a criminal. I didn't expect that this time it would be even more powerful, even Sister Yan won. "
The door opens.
Six women walked in from the outside cautiously. After entering the Jiaofang Division, they were all carefully "trained". If they were disobedient, they would be punished in various ways until they became obedient.
Three mature women and three young women.
Shen Yiming sighed: "There are people in Zuixianyuan who spend the same money but get different treatment."
"Do you believe it or not? This time the bill is free." Xiao Ran said.
"Yeah." Shen Yiming nodded.
Finish the drink.
Shen Yiming and the others entered the side room. Xiao Ran went out, called a servant, took out a silver note and gave it to him.
The servants were startled, "Brother Xiao, please don't embarrass us. Sister Yan said that this time the order will be waived."
"Tell her later that if she doesn't want the money, we won't come over next time." Xiao Ran was unmoved.
"This, this..."
He stuffed the banknotes into his arms, turned around and left.
When Sister Yan got the news, it was already "over".
Xiao Zhou tied up his belt and made a grimace, as if someone owed him money, "Who are you looking down on? Are we like people who can't afford to pay?"
I took out a five thousand tael banknote and felt it was inappropriate.
Facing Sister Yan's teasing look, Xiao Zhouyi gritted his teeth and placed a 10,000 tael banknote on the table, "We are not short of money!"
My heart hurts so much!
He held on to the wall and left with trembling calves.
Return to Jingwenfang home.
Xiao Wu hurriedly came forward, roared at Xiao Ran, and in the blink of an eye, she changed to a size of seven feet. She did not dare to become too big for fear of being too ostentatious, so she stopped in front of him.
Bend your limbs, squat down, and gesture with your lips to let him come up.
"Okay." Xiao Ran smiled.
With a gentle tap, it landed on Xiao Wu's back.
Although it was covered in scales and had divine fire burning all over its body, it was really soft and comfortable to ride on, and the divine fire could not burn Xiao Ran's body.
"Roar!" Xiao Wu shouted excitedly.
Stand up from the ground and run wildly in the yard.
There were sparks and lightning all the way, and the speed was so fast that wherever it passed, only a blood-red afterimage was seen, and it completely disappeared.
Fortunately, Xiao Ran's mansion is big enough, plus a small dragon lake, which is enough for it to run around.
Arrive at Xiaolong Lake.
The four hooves were rippling with fiery red light, stepping on the water, and running even more cheerfully.
quite a while.
Back to the backyard again.
Xiao Ran came down and said with a smile: "Not bad."
"Roar!" Xiao Wu was excited and pointed at the Suzaku in his right arm.
Entered the study room.
Xiao Wu followed and took the initiative to close the door.
Xiao Ran didn't tease them this time and called out the Suzaku. Its vitality had already recovered since the last donation of blood and essence.
"Is something wrong?" Suzaku asked.
Xiao Ran took out four Tianling Yuanqi Fruits, two for each beast, and threw them to them.
Zhuque and Xiaowu's eyes lit up, they opened their mouths and quickly swallowed the two Tianling Yuanqi Fruits.
Complete digestion.
The moral conduct of the two beasts improved again.
Xiao Wu broke through to the eighth level of the grand master, and Suzaku broke through to the sixth level of the grand master.
"Thank you!" Suzaku said gratefully.
He took the initiative to take out ten drops of blood essence and handed them to Xiao Ran. He became weak again and turned into a streak of red clouds, which was transferred into the bowl in his right hand.
"Let's go play." Xiao Ran said.
Xiao Wu didn't leave, she saw him getting on the bed, crawled beside the bed and rested with him.
During this time.
Xiao Ran was really tired, not only physically but also mentally.
I fell asleep quickly after getting into bed.
Lin Mansion.
In the study.
Lin Weiyong had a gloomy face, his face was ashen, he clenched his fists together, raised them suddenly, and smashed them on the table.
Click!
The huge force smashed the table.
"Asshole!" Lin Weiyong cursed.
Thinking of what happened in the court today, the eighteenth prince died, the twelfth prince was deposed, and the ninth prince lost half his life, his face was swollen more than a pig's head, and there were marks of whips everywhere on his body.
Morning once we arrive tomorrow morning.
The civil and military officials discussed the matter again, and Fu Xianhe, a pioneer with a stubborn temper, refused to give face to anyone, and pretended to be the world's common people, and his head was about to explode.
"No! You must not sit back and wait for death like this, otherwise Yun Yi will be completely in danger this time. Even the twelfth prince has been deposed. Even if he did not do this, the crime of cheating alone is enough for him to suffer."
Think of this.
Lin Weiyong stood up from the chair hurriedly, walked around the study with his hands behind his back.
No matter how he thought, he couldn't think of a way to break the situation.
He had already tried it with Xiao Ran. If it had worked, things would not have reached this stage.
suddenly.
A flash of light flashed through his mind, and he thought, it depends on this time whether he can succeed or not.
Think of this.
He ordered outside, "Go and call the lady."
"It's Master." The guard's respectful voice came from outside.
soon.
There was a knock on the door, and Lin Yushan's voice came in from outside, "Dad, are you in there?"
"Come in."
The door opened and Lin Yushan walked in from the outside.
Wearing a sky blue short skirt, she exposed her fair and tender skin. She had an oval-shaped face, Xiaojiabiyu, and looked knowledgeable, intelligent, and sensible.
Close the door.
"I've met dad." Lin Yushan bowed slightly.
Taking the teapot, he poured a cup and placed it in front of him.
Looking at the face in front of me, although she is smiling, the sadness deep in the corners of her eyes cannot be concealed.
Red and swollen with sadness.
Lin Weiyong was furious and hated Zheng Qing. If he was given the choice again, he would be divided into five pieces to let him know how powerful he was.
With a fatherly and kind smile on his face, he pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit."
Lin Yushan sat on the chair.
"Dad! It's so late, why did you ask me to come over?"
"You must have heard about Yun Yi, right?" Lin Weiyong asked.
"I heard a little bit, how is he doing now?"
"The matter is more serious than you think!" Lin Weiyong put away his smile and looked serious.
"Remember Zheng Qing?"
boom!
Lin Yushan's mind was shaken, and her delicate body trembled violently. She looked at him in disbelief, her beautiful eyes seemed to see through him, and even the tone of her words changed, "Dad, what do you mean by this? Do you think your daughter
Still thinking about him?"
"Don't be anxious, listen to dad and tell me slowly." Lin Weiyong said.
"Yun Yi's incident this time is far more complicated than you think. Even the eighteenth prince died in this incident, the twelfth prince was deposed, and the ninth prince only has half his life left. Until now,
The injuries on his body are quite horrific.”
There was a pause.
He clenched his fists and slapped them on the chair.
"That's not the most irritating thing. The person responsible for this is called Xiao Ran, and he is a brother to Zheng Qing. They have a very good relationship. I think you must have heard of it."
Lin Yushan was puzzled, "Even if this is the case, Dad, you came forward in person. With your status, the Tianlao is still under the supervision of the Ministry of Punishment, and they won't release him?"
"Yeah." Lin Weiyong nodded heavily.
"Although Tianlao is supervised and guided by our Punishment Department, the management rights belong to the Divine Sword Guard, and the Lingshen Division can also play a role. To put it bluntly, the words of the Lingshen Division are more effective than the Punishment Department."
His eyes were cold and filled with hatred.
"When Zheng Qing left the capital, he told Xiao Ran about his affairs. Although he is a small person, he always kept Zheng Qing's affairs in his heart. This time he seized the opportunity and wanted to take advantage of it to give us
He applied eye drops severely. Even though his father personally begged him to lower his status and promised various benefits, he remained unmoved. Instead, he got worse. The person who injured his father even threw him out and humiliated him severely.
A meal."
"This, this..." Lin Yushan didn't know what to do.
Looking at Lin Weiyong.
"Dad, can't you think of a way to rescue Yun Yi from the imperial court? As long as His Majesty opens his mouth, Wei Yong will be fine."
"Dad has thought about this too, but it's hard!" Lin Weiyong sighed.
"Dad just told you that even the 18th prince died, the 12th prince was deposed, and the 9th prince only has half a life left. Your Majesty is still angry now. After hurriedly deposing the 12th prince this morning,
I left in anger. After this time passes, it will undoubtedly be even better."
His face was solemn.
"When tomorrow morning comes, there will definitely be ministers who will propose to set the tone on this matter, re-issue the exam questions, discuss the date, and prepare for the autumn period. In the years since I have been an official, I have had many political opponents. If I don't take action tonight
, rescue Yun Yi, once the dust settles tomorrow, he will be completely in danger."
Sighed.
He started playing the emotional card.
"This matter can be big or small. As long as Xiao Ran is willing to let him go, my father will do some tricks in the dark and do some tricks, and he can fish Yun Yi out. Although he won't be able to live in Qiuwei, he won't be punished. If he persists, he won't be punished.
Let him go, bite him to death and torture him inside. Yun Yi will not be able to escape this time, or even be sent to the frontier to be a slave forever. If this is the case, his whole life will be over."
Lin Yushan is not an idiot, nor is he a vase.
Combining what he said before and after, I understood what he meant by calling me here this time.
"Dad, do you want me to beg Xiao Ran and ask him to be lenient?"
Lin Weiyong played the emotional card again and agreed a little harder.
"All the hopes of the Lin family are on your brother. If something happens to him, the incense will be cut off. If he is sent to the frontier as a slave, your mother will be very sad. She will cry to death and even lose half of her life.
Life. When the time comes, this family will be finished like this."
Looking at her affectionately.
"Dad has not asked you for anything in these years. I am begging you this time. I must save your brother. As long as you are willing to come forward, Xiao Ran has a great chance of letting him go for the sake of Zheng Qing. Dad is here to ask
You promise, as long as your brother is fine, even if you contact Zheng Qing again, dad will not stop you."
Lin Yushan didn't know how to get out of the study.
Standing here at Lotus Root Lake, looking at the lotus flowers in the lake, I was in a daze for a long time.
At this time.
Her personal maid came over with a concerned look on her face: "Miss, are you okay?"
Come back to your senses.
Lin Yushan put away his complicated feelings and shook his head, "I'm fine."
Entered the bedroom.
He put a few letters into his arms and went out again.
"Miss, the master has already given instructions. If you want to go out, you can go there in a sedan."
Lin Yushan stopped, looked at her coldly, and said firmly, "Go and tell my father not to send anyone to follow me. I will go there by myself this time."
"This, this..." The maid hesitated.
"If it doesn't work, I won't ask about it."
"Wait a moment, I'll go ask the master for instructions." The maid said.
He hurriedly left and went to the study to tell Lin Weiyong the news.
Think for a moment.
Lin Weiyong made up his mind to let her go alone.
After receiving the order, Lin Yushan left the mansion and rushed towards Xiao Ran.
Got here.
Knock on the courtyard door.
Boom!
"Brother Xiao, are you asleep?" Lin Yushan said.
Looking at the moonlight in the night sky, I laughed to myself, it’s already this hour, who’s still not asleep?
Sitting on the threshold, leaning on the door, ready to wait for him to come out tomorrow morning.
Eee!
The courtyard door opened, and Jin opened it and looked at Lin Yushan sitting at the door. He had wisdom. Although he was still very low, he was still wise.
He was stunned for a moment, then spoke.
"Who are you looking for?"
Lin Yushan's beautiful eyes lit up and he stood up from the ground excitedly.
"I'm looking for Xiao Ran."
"Who are you?"
"Just say you are Zheng Qing's friend."
"Wait a moment, I'll tell the master." Jin said.
Close the courtyard door and walk towards the inner courtyard.
In the bedroom.
Xiao Ran was sleeping soundly, when Jin Yi's voice came, "Master, there is a friend outside who calls himself Zheng Qing looking for you."
"???" Xiao Ran opened his eyes and saw a series of question marks.
Get out of bed.
He walked over and opened the door.
"Lao Zheng's friend?" Xiao Ran asked.
"Yeah." Jin Yi nodded heavily.
"It shouldn't be! Lao Zheng has very few friends in the capital. Except for a few of us, although we have contacts with other people, we are not familiar with them." Xiao Ran was surprised.
"It's a girl, and she's very beautiful!" Jin emphasized.
"Female?" Xiao Ran was even more confused.
If it is Xiao Zhou's friend who comes to visit him in the middle of the night, and he is a woman, it is understandable that the other party cannot find Xiao Zhou and comes to him to inquire about Xiao Zhou's whereabouts so that he can ask for money from Xiao Zhou.
After all, this guy is unreliable.
Even though I'm a little more mature now, I'm still not stable enough.
"Let's go and meet." Xiao Ran said.
Out the door.
Arriving at the courtyard gate, Jin Yi opened the courtyard door and Xiao Ran walked out, looking at Lin Yushan at the door.
My first reaction was that this girl is indeed pretty, has temperament, and is well-dressed. She seems to be a lady.
"Who are you?" Xiao Ran asked.
"Can we go in and talk?" Lin Yushan said.
"Okay." Xiao Ran nodded.
Taking her into the hall, Jin Yi poured two cups of snow ginseng tea and placed them in front of Xiao Ran and her.
took a sip of tea.
Xiao Ran asked: "Are you Lao Zheng's friend?"
Lin Yushan smiled bitterly, with unconcealable sadness in her beautiful eyes, took out a few letters from her arms and placed them in front of Xiao Ran.
"One time when I went out, the person who delivered the letter happened to be sick. I also knew the person. I learned that he wanted to deliver a letter to you, so I left the letter without your consent. I planned to find a time to send it to you, and I kept it.
It’s been delayed until now.”
Xiao Ran took the letter, which had been opened.
He frowned, his expression turned cold, and he took out the letter and read it.
The letter was written by Lao Zheng, telling him that he was doing well on the border, that he had performed well in several small battles, and was valued by his superiors, and that he had been promoted now, and that he should not worry about it.
After reading all the letters, the contents are almost the same.
Put the letter down.
"Are you Lin Yushan?" Xiao Ran asked tentatively.
Combined with the current situation, what Lao Zheng said before, and how much she cares about Lao Zheng's letters, there is no one else but her.
"Yeah." Lin Yushan admitted generously.
"He has been away for more than half a year. I miss him very much. I am not afraid of your jokes. Every night, his figure will always appear in my mind. Every move and every move I have made, and the days we spent together day and night, are vivid in my mind. After seeing his letters,
It’s as if I’ve met him in person. Every time I sleep, I put these letters under my pillow, as if he is always by my side.”
"Alas!" Xiao Ran sighed.
He couldn't do anything about it.
"I thought that I would be imprisoned by my father in my house until my death. Unexpectedly, there was a turning point this time. Yun Yi cheated in the examination room and was imprisoned in the sky prison. He was desperate and found me here, hoping to get me to come forward.
, I asked you to intercede and let him go, so that I could come out."
Xiao Ran looked at her, waiting for her to continue.
"There are state laws and family rules. Yun Yi is not sensible. He even dares to commit serious crimes such as cheating. What else does he dare not do? This time is just a lesson for him to remember for a long time. Save
After he came out, he continued to be lawless and took advantage of his family's power to do random things." Lin Yushan said.
"Do you really think so?" Xiao Ran was skeptical.
"I know you don't believe it, but what I said is true. There is no need to lie to you! Dad is sitting in this position and can protect him for a while. If one day Dad retires and without Dad's blessing, who will be able to protect him?
Can you protect him? Once that time comes, not only will he be unlucky, but the entire Lin family will also be implicated. With this incident as a lesson, he can reform himself inside. After he comes out, at least his father will still be in his position. Give him
It is not difficult to become rich. Even if he retires, the money our family has saved over the years will be enough for him to live peacefully and have food and clothing without worries."
"You see clearly, you see further than others." Xiao Ran nodded.
"According to the crime he committed this time, he will not be sentenced to three years in prison. This case is under our jurisdiction and he should serve his sentence in a sky jail."
"That's good." Lin Yushan was completely relieved when he heard that his brother's life was not in danger.
Xiao Ran said: "Your purpose of coming to me this time should be more than that, right?"
"I can't let go of Brother Qing! For the past six months, I have been thinking about him. But these days, I have been detained in the house and unable to get out. This time is an opportunity for me. I want you to help me." Lin Yu
Shirt said solemnly.
"Are you going to find him? Do you know where he is?" Xiao Ran asked.
"I don't know!" Lin Yushan shook his head.
"There are so many border gates in Daxia, but no matter how many there are, there is always a number. If there is none here, I will go to another place to find him. As long as I still have breath, I will never give up!"
Looking at Xiao Ran.
"You only have one chance. Once you miss tonight, it will be difficult to get such an opportunity in the future."
Stand up from the chair.
thump!
Lin Yushan knelt in front of Xiao Ran, with honest eyes, "Brother Xiao, I beg you, can you help me once? I can't let go of Brother Qing!"
"You, you made it difficult for me!" Xiao Ran said.
"Please!" Lin Yushan begged.
"Forget it! I will help you just once." Xiao Ran reluctantly agreed.
I added to my mind that brothers can only go so far.
"Thank you!" Lin Yushan was grateful.
"Tell me your plan." Xiao Ran said.
"I want to take advantage of the night to leave the capital, disguise myself as a man, sneak into the caravan, and go to the nearest border first," Lin Yushan said.
"You are only in the Xiantian realm. This journey is destined to be thorny and full of dangers. You have to think about it carefully." Xiao Ran reminded.
"I will have no regrets even if I die! If I can't see Brother Qing, I would rather die like this." Lin Yushan said.
"Old Zheng, he didn't see the wrong person." Xiao Ran was impressed by her.
This woman knows what is wrong and is well-educated, which is a good thing for Zheng Qing.
Take out some thunder beads and give them to her.
Facing her doubtful eyes, Xiao Ran said: "Don't underestimate them, these thunder beads are very powerful. Ordinary grandmasters can't resist them at all. They are enough to keep you safe. As long as you pay attention, it will be enough."
You find him."
"Thank you, Brother Xiao!" Lin Yushan was grateful.
"From my inference, Lao Zheng most likely went to one of the following three places, Dragon City, No Tears City, and Cloud City. You have a high chance of finding him in these three places."
"Yeah." Lin Yushan solemnly wrote it down.
"Without further delay, I will send you out now." Xiao Ran said.
After leaving the mansion, we rushed towards the city wall on the north side of the city.
Got here.
Xiao Ran took her with him, jumped up, and took her out of the city, hiding it from the surrounding patrolling troops.
The official road is here.
Xiao Ran took out some more banknotes, which totaled less than 5,000 taels. They were all in small denominations. It was obvious from this that he was very careful.
"You take this money and go out. You would rather have money be wronged than let others be wronged."
"Brother Xiao, I..." Lin Yushan was moved.
Tears welled up in his eyes.
"Farewell, mother-in-law, go quickly!" Xiao Ran reminded.
"Brother Xiao, take care! When we come back again, we will treat you to a wedding banquet." Lin Yushan said.
Wiping the tears from his face, he turned around and left without wasting any more time.
"As brothers, this is the only thing I can help you with. The rest depends on your fate." Xiao Ran looked at the night sky.
His eyes fell on his right wrist.
"You go and escort her out of the capital."
"Yes." Suzaku flew out and nodded heavily.
The size changes, the special effects are reduced, it becomes the size of a sparrow, the color is ordinary and gray, and it looks unremarkable at all.
Follow her until she leaves the capital safely, then return.
"Are you leaving?" Xiao Ran asked.
"Yes." Suzaku nodded and returned to Xiao Ran's right wrist again.
"It's time to go back." Xiao Ran said.
Return to the house.
A beautiful figure is sitting in the living room, drinking snow ginseng tea and eating white lotus cake, like the hostess of this house.
"Are you leaving?" Lingqing'er asked.
"Did you see it?" Xiao Ran asked.
He walked over and sat next to her. Lingqing'er poured him a glass.
"When I came here, I happened to see you sending her away."
"Already gone." Xiao Ran nodded.
"Aren't you busy?"
"Didn't I hear that you were responsible for investigating the exam questions? I felt uneasy, so I put down what I was doing and came here." Ling Qing'er said.
"Are you okay?"
"I asked you to care, I'm fine." Xiao Ran said.
Stand up from the chair and close the door.
Stopped in front of her.
Lingqing'er was very nervous, her long eyelashes blinking slightly, "You, what do you want to do?"
"The weather is always changing. I suddenly feel a little cold. I want you to help me warm up."
A slap with the right hand.
The room fell into darkness.
"I haven't finished speaking yet!"
"Let's talk about it later."
early morning.
The two sat on the chairs again.
Lingqing'er rolled her eyes at him, "What was I going to say last night?"
"Forgot." Xiao Ran said simply.
"Next time something dangerous like this happens, don't get involved. No matter what the outcome is, it won't be good for you." Ling Qing'er reminded.
"Yeah." Xiao Ran responded.
Lingqing'er knew his character, so when she saw him like this, she didn't say anything more.
Silently he took out some talismans and placed them in front of him.
"You hold these talismans for self-defense. If you encounter danger, throw them all out. As long as you don't meet a strong person in the Xuanzong realm, as many as you come will die."
Xiao Ran took the talisman away.
"Is the research going well?"
"It went relatively smoothly. We can take this a step further and have already broken through to the first level of the Earth Realm." Ling Qing'er said.
There was another question that she didn't voice out.
Since her "showdown" with Xiao Ran in her hometown, she found that her cultivation speed was so fast, nearly three times faster than before.
Especially after each "showdown", the cultivation speed will be faster in the next few days.
She had also thought about this issue, and it was probably because of Xiao Ran's special physique.
She doesn't know.
Xiao Ran's main skill is the God and Demon Kung Fu, the Nine Heavens Soul Controlling Kung Fu, which can contain all kinds of qi and has infinite power.
focus.
He has also laid a very solid foundation and his realm is quite advanced.
The essence of life contains rich and pure spiritual power, which can make her practice faster.
"Very good." Xiao Ran said.
"I'm back. If you have anything, you can come to me or Sister Yu (Zhu Yuyan)." Ling Qing'er said.
"I send you."
After sending her to the door, Lingqing'er quickly left.
Return to the backyard.
After washing.
After leaving the house, we had breakfast at Shuirou Tofu Shop.
Xiao Ran did not go to the Divine Sword Guard, but walked towards the Gu Mansion. Gu Qiuhe had helped a lot this time, so he couldn't help but express his gratitude.
I bought some gifts at the market. They are not expensive, but the important thing is the thought.
Passing by Zhuque Avenue.
Stopping at a street stall, I squatted down and looked at the words on the stall. They were quite good. They were in a style of their own, with a vague sense of everyone's style. There was a sense of splendor in the words, and a grand artistic conception.
His realm has reached a state of perfection.
In addition to himself, he has practiced two life skills, chess and painting, to return to his original nature.
Now in this scholar's body, I see someone who has cultivated a life skill to such a profound level.
key.
There is no slight fluctuation in his cultivation level on his body.
Judging from his clothes, he is very shabby and has patches on his body. It seems that his family background is very poor, but his eyes are very bright.
"How do you sell these words?" Xiao Ran asked.
"One hundred taels." Shi Ming said in embarrassment.
Afraid of the price, which scared Xiao Ran, he weakly added, "If you think it's too expensive, fifty taels is fine."
Xiao Ran smiled, there were twelve full copybooks, and without twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver, there was no chance at all.
He was just about to speak when another person came.
It seemed that they all knew each other and were both scholars. The young man who led him was rather ruthless and rushed over. He put one hand on his hip and pointed at Shi Ming with his right hand, "We have been looking for you for a long time, but we didn't expect you to be hiding here."
Shi Ming said with a cold face, "Sun Hu, what do you want to do?"
Sun Hu sneered: "What are you doing? You don't know? When I came to the capital, I told you that if you offend me, you won't even be able to pass the Qiu Wei exam."
"This is at the feet of the Emperor. Now that the exam questions have just been decided, even the Twelve Princes have been deposed! I don't believe it. You are more powerful than the Twelve Princes." Shi Ming counterattacked.
"Hmph! Of course I can't compare to the Twelve Princes." At this point, his eyes turned cold, with a hint of gloom.
"As long as you are disabled, you will naturally not be able to participate."
"I have a great reputation, but I am still Jieyuan. How dare you do something in the capital?" Shi Ming was furious.
Sun Hu took a step closer, with a sarcastic look on his face, "Obviously I don't dare to do anything random, but you should be careful these days. There are so many natural and man-made disasters, so don't let anything happen to you."
Looking at the calligraphy on his stall.
"Tear them up! Want to make a living selling letters? Dream on!"
The two scholars, who seemed to be his followers, rushed up and tried to tear up the copybooks.
"How dare you!" Shi Ming was furious.
Open your arms and stand in front of them.
Bang!
One person kicked him to the ground, and just as he was about to tear up the calligraphy and paintings on the ground, Xiao Ran stood in front of them with a cold face.
He was going to the Gu Mansion. He didn't wear the silver sword robe, but clothes made by Lingqing'er.
"Are you too brave? You actually dare to take action here on Suzaku Avenue."
Sun Hu frowned and glanced at Xiao Ran. He saw that the clothes he was wearing were made of high quality fabrics. He couldn't tell, but he thought they were expensive.
With no anger and self-power, you should have a certain degree of power.
But thinking about his trump card, that he had the support of his uncle in the capital, he had no fear. Even if something went wrong, he could handle it with his uncle's ability.
Furthermore.
This little thing is not too big in his opinion.
"Go away! You have nothing to do here."
Snap! Snap!
Xiao Ran suddenly slapped his two big mouths upwards, and the huge force knocked him to the ground, "Who do you think you are, you dare to talk to me like this?"
The two followers got angry, rushed up and attacked him from behind.
Both of these people have some strength and innate realm cultivation.
Xiao Ran didn't even look, and he waved his right hand casually. The huge palm force knocked the two of them away and fell to the ground hard.
The people around him were startled and hurried away.
A group of patrolling Imperial Guards hurriedly ran over. The leading officer said with a cold face, "Take them all down!"
Xiao Ran took out his identity badge.
The officer hurriedly saluted: "I have met you, sir!"
"These three people are openly causing trouble and dare to sneak attack me and capture them," Xiao Ran said.
"It's my lord!" The officer waved his hand.
Several Imperial Guards rushed forward and captured them.
Wait until they leave.
Xiao Ran turned around and looked at Shi Ming: "Are the copybooks still for sale?"
"Thank you for your generous help. If you want it, I am willing to give these copybooks to you," Shi Ming said.
Xiao Ran shook his head, not greedy for such a small advantage.
He took out a one-hundred-tael banknote and handed it over, put the copybook away, and turned to leave.
"Thank you!" Shi Ming was grateful and solemnly saluted Xiao Ran's back.
Arrived outside the gate of Gu Mansion.
Xiao Ran explained his purpose of coming, and the guard at the door was very respectful and asked him to wait here before he hurried in to report.
soon.
Gu Qiuhe's voice came from inside, "Brother Xiao, why are you here free?"
Bang!
Xiao Ran waved his hand and hit him on the head, "Call Uncle Xiao!"
"Uncle Xiao." Gu Qiuhe touched the back of his head and called out honestly.
"Go in and talk." Xiao Ran said.
"Look at my memory, how could I have forgotten this?" Gu Qiuhe sneered.
Entered the mansion.
Sitting down here in the hall, Mr. Gu also came after receiving the news. Gu Xuanyi and Gu Qiuhe's father was not here. They were both very busy.
"It's been a while since I last saw you, you've become more energetic." Mr. Gu joked.
"The same goes for you." Xiao Ran smiled.
"That's not right! I heard from dad that after recognizing you as my nephew, you should change your name to second brother," said Mr. Gu.
Gu Qiuhe grimaced, "Second uncle, is this really a good thing for you? Have you considered my feelings?"
"Adults are talking, children, please don't interrupt." Mr. Gu glared at him fiercely.
"Second brother." Xiao Ran smiled.
"Sit down and serve tea." Mr. Gu said.
Xiao Ran handed the gift to his servant, took out the twelve copybooks he bought from Shi Ming, and placed them on the table.
Gu Qiuhe opened it and recognized it as a good thing at a glance, "Brother Xiao, are you spending too much money on it?"
