In the following days, Ding Yao came to the inn to look for Shangluo more and more often. In addition, Lu Hanjiang hinted that Zhou Yuanshan should adopt an approachable attitude and hang on to this girl with vague hope.
As for the purpose of doing this, it is naturally to get the news from the Ding family as soon as possible.
Sure enough, after waiting for a few days, Ding Yao brought them "good" news.
This time it was not just Ding Yao who came, Cai Wei and even Zheng Ming came together.
As soon as the girl arrived, she said to them eagerly: "Master Lu, Sister Lu, and Brother Zhou, we have found traces of the exquisite Xuehua Palace."
"oh?"
Lu Hanjiang looked surprised, and actually he was quite surprised. He looked at Ding Yao and asked, "Miss Ding, come and listen."
"Let my cousin talk about this matter."
Ding Yao did not explain herself, but pushed her cousin out. Among the people in this room, Zheng Ming was the only one who was a weak scholar. At this time, it seemed that he could only look at the same different people.
Lu Hanjiang, who knows martial arts, came to give himself a little more confidence.
"..." Facing Zheng Ming's gaze, Lu Hanjiang looked away slightly.
Zheng Ming was so embarrassed, but under Ding Yao's urging, he finally calmed down and told what happened to him: "Two days ago, I noticed something was wrong with the maid serving beside me. That day, she suddenly said to me...
…”
What Zheng Ming said can be summed up very simply. A mysterious woman disguised herself as a maid in the palace and approached him, hoping that through his relationship with Ding Yao, Caiwei would be lured out and killed.
With such means and such purpose, no need to guess, it must be Xuehua Palace Linglong.
Lu Hanjiang didn't show any expression on his face, but he was happy in his heart. Oh, no wonder this girl was played by him twice. It seemed that her original foundation was not very good. She was asked to trick Zheng Ming, but she was tricked by him in turn.
It’s a routine.
The dignified disciple of Xuehua Palace was plotted against by a down-and-out young man, and he really gave the devil a face.
"Since she wants to plot against me, why don't we take advantage of this opportunity instead."
As expected, Caiwei wanted to use the strategy of taking advantage of the situation. She told Zheng Ming: "Mr. Zheng, when she comes to you again, you will promise her."
"I understand." Zheng Ming nodded vigorously. After being in the world for so long, he felt like participating in a major event for the first time, and he was also a key figure in it. The feeling of being the protagonist was really good.
As soon as the explanation was finished, Linglong found Zheng Ming that night. Perhaps because of Lu Hanjiang's harsh words, Linglong still showed off her appearance at this time. All she showed to this young master was her martial arts skills.
The conversation went very smoothly this time. Zheng Ming readily agreed to Linglong's request, which made her a little suspicious. However, the other party was just an ordinary young man, so she thought she was overly worried.
The two quickly formulated a plan. In order to weaken Caiwei's combat power, Linglong set up an ambush in the city so that the big snake could not participate in the battle.
Zheng Ming naturally agreed wholeheartedly, and after the two discussed some more details, Linglong quietly left. Zheng Ming was so nervous that night that he almost fell asleep.
He told Ding Yao about the incident early the next morning, and the group immediately acted according to the plan.
A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, not to mention dealing with a demonic witch. Ding Yao and Caiwei naturally tried to concentrate as much power as possible. In order not to let Linglong, who had been hiding in the Ding family, notice, they did not summon the people at home this time.
Instead, Lu Hanjiang and his party were notified.
As for this, Lu Hanjiang was not surprised. When the other party came to discuss this matter with them, he probably had the intention of getting them to eliminate the demon together.
Lu Hanjiang naturally agreed to Ding Yao and Cai Wei's request. After all, the location of the ambush was a restaurant, not to mention having a meal.
However, there are many people in that place, so I guess Linglong has planned how to escape if things go wrong.
Soon the sky darkened, and after nightfall, several people came to the restaurant as promised. Lu Hanjiang and the others came a little later, and Cai Wei and Ding Yao had already been seated for a while.
When everyone arrived, Zheng Ming naturally did some scene work according to the plan, and a few people started to eat quickly. Shangluo took this opportunity to lean to the edge of the Lu Han River and whispered: "Xiao Lu, this time it's you.
Lose."
Lu Hanjiang glanced at her but did not answer. Shangluo continued: "Look, I told you that Mr. Zheng is sincere to Sister Ding. There is no way that witch can make him change his heart. This time, I won."
"Don't worry, everything has just begun."
As if to confirm Lu Hanjiang's words, a short knife suddenly flew in from behind the screen door and only took away the head of the person picking Wei.
Caiwei bent back to avoid the dagger, and flicked out two spherical hidden weapons. The sound of gold and stone intersecting came from behind the screen door, followed by Linglong's surprised voice——
"How can you still use your inner strength?"
Since Linglong planned to take advantage of Zheng Ming, she naturally went to the end and ordered him to secretly put the medicinal powder that limits internal power into the dishes so that she could successfully capture Caiwei.
It's a pity that Zheng Ming had already jumped back, so Linglong naturally failed to defeat the snake in this move and was bitten by the snake instead.
"Wither insect's little skill, why don't you just accept your capture!"
Caiwei's hands formed complex palm prints like flowers, and immediately struck out with a palm. The screen door was immediately beaten to pieces. Linglong behind saw that the situation was not right and immediately turned around and ran away.
"Witch, please leave!"
Caiwei chased after her with a quick step, and the two exchanged palms in the air. Linglong soon fell behind. She turned around and glared at the other party bitterly, then turned around and rushed into the crowd, causing waves of exclamations.
.
Most of the people here are ordinary people, and Caiwei's methods cannot be used at all. On the other hand, Linglong is like a fish in water. To her, hurting innocent people is like eating and drinking water.
Caiwei was restrained in every way, and Ding Yao outside was unable to participate in such a fight because of her low martial arts skills, so she had no choice but to turn around and ask Lu Hanjiang and the others for help.
When she looked back, she saw that Lu Hanjiang was feasting at the table, Zhou Yuanshan was sitting upright with his eyes closed, and Shangluo was lying on the railing and cheering continuously.
No, you guys are here to watch a show - Ding Yao almost said what she was thinking, but she managed to hold it back with great difficulty. Her face turned red, and she didn't know whether she was holding it in or getting angry.
"Please sister Lu, please help me quickly!" Ding Yao straightened her expression and said to Shangluo.
"Ah I?"
Shangluo was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Lu Hanjiang, who finally put down the bowl, wiped his hands, walked up to her and said, "It's okay, little sister, just take action."
Lu Hanjiang then handed her a small piece of broken wood picked from the screen door, bent down and whispered in Shangluo's ear: "Just like I taught you, throw her with a hidden weapon."
"Okay." Out of her trust in Lu Hanjiang, Shangluo immediately agreed, and then threw the broken wood with all her strength according to the exercises Lu Hanjiang taught her in the past few days.
The moment the broken piece of wood took action, Lu Hanjiang couldn't help but roll his eyes. This hidden weapon made it almost impossible to see, so he had to take action himself, kicking out the other piece of broken wood at his feet, smashing Shangluo and throwing it out.
A hidden weapon, and then like a flying fireball, it destroyed the front door of the restaurant.
The rubble and bricks fell together, smashing the Linglong below, but the agitated smoke and dust also dispersed the crowd to both sides. Caiwei was squeezed outside, unable to advance or retreat.
By the time she finally managed to carve a way out of the crowd, the smoke and dust cleared, and Linglong had long since disappeared.
