Chapter 41: Ah Qiu struggles to protect the Lord

In the middle of the night, a fire suddenly broke out in Kuzen Temple. www.biquge.info The people in the city spontaneously carried buckets to fight the fire, and Han Xiaoyue sighed with emotion, and immediately decided to go with them to help protect the property in the temple. Knowing the purpose of Han Xiaoyue's visit, Mu Yaqin shook her head and said, "There are many masters in the Kuzen Temple, where are you going to protect them?" ”

"Miss Mu, then we can't stand idly by!" Han Xiaoyue was a little anxious, this fire might be an opportunity to enter the Kuzen Temple.

Mu Yaqin saw that he was unwilling, so he stopped talking, rubbing his hands behind him. Although Han Xiaoyue noticed this detail, she didn't know her intentions, and only felt that Mu Yaqin didn't seem to want to help.

"Brother Han, I'll lead the horse!" Li Jingxian said that he was going to lead the horse.

Mu Yaqin stretched out his hand to stop and said, "Now the streets are full of people, and it is not convenient to ride a horse at all." If you two insist on going, it will be much faster to walk. ”

When Han Xiaoyue heard this, she was surprised and said, "What's the matter, Miss Mu is going with you?" ”

Mu Yaqin nodded: "It's so busy outside, I can't sleep at all, so let's go together!" As he spoke, he glanced at Li Jingxian and said, "Master Han, you haven't introduced it yet, who is this?" ”

Han Xiaoyue said with a smile: "His name is Li Jingxian, and he is a good friend of mine." As he spoke, he said to Li Jingxian, "Jingxian, this is the Mu girl who shared a table with us during the day and met outside the Kuzen Temple in the evening. Another girl's name is Ah Qiu, and she is ...... at the moment I'm afraid I'm still asleep! ”

"Oh, I remember, two girls dressed as men!" Li Jingxian thought about it and couldn't help laughing.

Li Gongzi smiled. Miss Aqiu is sleepy, and she must be still asleep. She is a person, and a few thunderbolts may not arouse her. ”

Li Jingxian laughed and said, "In this way, Miss Aqiu is really interesting. ”

"Interesting?" Mu Yaqin chuckled, "Ah Qiu is very good at kung fu, if she wants to hear you talk about her funny, I'm afraid it will inevitably be a burst of punches and kicks!" ”

Han Xiaoyue waved her hand: "Miss Mu, Jing Xian's kung fu is not bad, and you should learn from each other if you have the opportunity another day." ”

While speaking, the three of them had already walked to the gazebo. The stairs leading to the temple were crowded with people, with people carrying empty buckets running down on the left and buckets full of water running up on the right. Although there are many people, they are orderly and do not show any panic. As soon as the three of them arrived, the fire in the temple had been suppressed.

"It's still a step too late, the fire has been extinguished." Han Xiaoyue said, shrugging her shoulders. And Mu Yaqin's face was not easy.

"Lord Zhixian has arrived!" A crisp gong sounded the way, and seven or eight people dressed in official clothes cleared a path from the crowd. It was followed by a large sedan chair, slowly walking up and down. Behind the sedan chair were seven or eight more soldiers, who surrounded the sedan chair. The sedan chair of the county magistrate passed through the pavilion and went directly to the temple gate, and the people put down the buckets one after another, dodged a big road, and knelt on both sides. Han Xiaoyue and the three of them flashed to the back of the crowd and watched quietly. I saw that as soon as I arrived at the door, a short and fat middle-aged man came down from the sedan chair, wearing a loose official uniform, and it turned out that he was Cui Fuhai, the magistrate of Xingping County. Cui Fuhai did not send someone into the temple to report, but waited anxiously outside the door, waiting for Master Mingji and other monks to come out to report the fire.

After a while, an old monk wearing a red gold-trimmed lotus robe walked out, folded his hands and saluted: "Amitabha, the county magistrate is here, and the old man is deeply honored. ”

Cui Fuhai also folded his hands and said: "Master Mingji, I heard that your temple is on fire, I don't know what the situation is now?" ”

"With the great assistance of the disciples and villagers, the fire has been controlled, and please rest assured."

"That's good, that's good! After some time, the official sent someone to help the master do the repair work. Cui Fuhai turned around and said to the people below, "Those who participated in the firefighting tonight can come to the mansion tomorrow to receive the reward, and they will all disperse!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" And they all bowed down.

Han Xiaoyue wanted to take a closer look at what Master Mingji looked like. Unfortunately, the night was too dark for him to see, and he had already retreated to the temple. At the same time, Cui Fuhai saw the temple door closed, and slowly left in a sedan chair.

"Jingxian, have you seen Master Mingji's appearance clearly?" Han Xiaoyue asked.

Li Jingxian shook his head: "It's too dark, I really can't see clearly." ”

Han Xiaoyue sighed and turned around to leave, but saw that Mu Yaqin was still standing there, looking at the temple, so she stepped forward and said, "Miss Mu." ”

Mu Yaqin was slightly flustered, turned around and smiled: "What, are you going back?" ”

"yes, the fire is under control, there's no point in staying here." As he spoke, he sighed and said, "It's just that it's a pity that I didn't see Master Mingji's appearance clearly." ”

When the crowd dispersed, Master Mingji stood behind the door, listened to the crowd go away, and ordered: "Mingjing, Mingde, gather everyone to the Daxiong Palace." With that, he strode towards the Daxiong Palace. The moonlight shone on his dark and thin face, and his expression was slightly solemn.

After this night's tossing, Han Xiaoyue felt very tired, and returned to the inn to fall asleep. It wasn't until the next day, when the sun was full, that he slowly woke up. At this moment, Li Jingxian also pushed the door in, holding a bowl of hot noodles in his hand, and said with a smile.

"Brother Han, you're awake! I'm afraid you're still asleep, so I'm ready to put down the noodles and leave. ”

Han Xiaoyue sat up and said, "Jingxian, what time is it?" ”

"It's past noon."

After hearing this, he sat up, glanced at the hot noodles on the table, and asked, "How did you remember to buy me a bowl of noodles?" ”

Li Jingxian listened to it and said with a smile: "I didn't buy this." I wanted to ask you to go to dinner with me, but I went by myself before you got up. happened to meet Miss Mu who came back from outside, and she asked Ah Qiu to cook two bowls by herself. ”

"I see, then you have to thank them for me."

"Don't worry, Brother Han. Eat it while it's hot, I'll go out first. With that, Li Jingxian withdrew from the room.

It's just a bowl of simple clear soup noodles, just salty, obviously from a large family. In addition, Han Xiaoyue's stomach was indeed a little hungry, and after a while, she ate a bowl of noodles. Walking out of the room with a bowl, I saw that Li Jingxian was chatting with a girl at the stairs. The girl's appearance looks familiar, and it should be Miss Aqiu who followed Mu Yaqin.

Seeing him come out, the two hurriedly got up from the steps. Ah Qiu said with a salute: "Master Han, is the rice delicious?" ”

Han Xiaoyue replied: "Miss Aqiu's craftsmanship is really good, very delicious, it's really troublesome for you!" ”

Ah Qiu's face turned red, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Childe, give me the dishes and chopsticks." After that, he hurried downstairs.

Li Jingxian looked at Ah Qiu's back, and his mouth grinned to his ears. Han Xiaoyue patted her shoulder and said, "Jingxian, what are you laughing at?" ”

Li Jingxian hurriedly put away his smile and said, "No...... No. After saying that, he left in a panic.

"Strange." Han Xiaoyue looked at Li Jingxian's back and shouted in her heart, "This kid shouldn't have taken a fancy to Ah Qiu!" ”

"Han Gongzi got up early!" Mu Yaqin walked out of the room with a little ridicule.

Han Xiaoyue gave a deep salute and said, "Is Miss Mu resting well?" ”

Mu Yaqin said with a smile: "I have already walked around the city with Aqiu, looked at the customs of Xingping County, and gained a lot of knowledge. ”

Han Xiaoyue nodded: "In this way, I'm really a little lazy. As he spoke, he gave another salute, "By the way, I would like to thank Miss Mu and Miss Ah Qiu for the food they cooked for us, which was very delicious." ”

"Don't be so polite, it just so happens that we are also going to eat, just by the way."

"Actually, the girl doesn't have to be so troublesome, after all, there is a restaurant opposite."

"You don't understand." Mu Yaqin said, "I have never been used to eating outside meals, and for many years, Ah Qiu has taken care of my daily life, and I am used to her cooking skills." Because yesterday's meal at the restaurant opposite me made my stomach ache all night. As he spoke, he covered his stomach.

After hearing this, Han Xiaoyue said with concern: "Oh? So what's going on now? ”

Mu Yaqin waved her hand: "After eating Ah Qiu's hot noodle soup, I feel much better now, and my son doesn't have to worry about it." As he spoke, he asked, "By the way, what are Childe's plans for today?" ”

"I heard that there is a thousand-year-old tree in Xingping County, and there is nothing else to do recently, so I plan to take a look."

As soon as the words fell, I heard a noise in the restaurant opposite, and then I heard someone shouting loudly: "Dare to stand in the way of Lao Tzu, see if I don't kill you!" Then came a terrible roar.

Han Xiaoyue hurriedly ran out, only to see a man about forty years old kicking a common man's body and kicking him out of the restaurant to the street. The man followed, wiped the sweat from his face, clenched his fist hard, and threw aside the copper bell ring knife he was wearing at his waist. Walk up to the people, bend down, raise your hand and strike.

The crowd gathered around and talked about it. When the man punched him in the face for the third time, the blood in his mouth was already running down the ground. Han Xiaoyue concluded that if there were two or three more punches, I was afraid that he would be worried about his life.

"Strong! Stop it! Han Xiaoyue shouted and stepped forward.

Mu Yaqin didn't want to be nosy, but she didn't hold him, so she had to retreat.

After hearing this, the man stopped his fist, looked up at Han Xiaoyue and said, "Why, there is finally someone who stands up for him!" As he spoke, he stood up and picked up the copper bell ring knife on the ground and re-tied it around his waist. During this period, five or six men in blue and purple robes who looked like followers rushed out of the restaurant, holding long swords, standing behind the beating man, with the posture of wanting to compete with Han Xiaoyue.

Han Xiaoyue glanced at the man lying on the ground moaning and said, "Strong man, you have such good kung fu, you don't want to serve the country, but you are bullying the barbarian township here, is it too unreasonable?" ”

"Serve the country? Hahahaha! The man who hit the man couldn't stop laughing, and so did the entourage behind him.

After laughing, the beating man took two steps forward and said, "Stinky boy, do you like to be reasonable?" Then let's be reasonable! As he spoke, he pointed to the man on the ground and said, "This person first bumped into me at the door, and then stepped on my foot in this bird restaurant." I don't care about that. However, when we finished our meal and were about to leave, this guy stood in the way of the door, saying things like 'the door is so wide, you can get through it as you want'. You say, should I fight? ”

After a while, Han Xiaoyue felt strange, so she leaned over to the beaten man, and a strong smell of alcohol rushed to the top of her head.

"It turned out to be a drunken gaffe." Han Xiaoyue stood up and said, "This person has lost his manners after drinking, so this is why there are these misunderstandings." But in any case, beating people is not justified after all. ”

"Huh?" The man snorted, "Is it possible for me to apologize to this drunkard?" ”

"Brother Han!" When Li Jingxian heard the commotion, he was afraid that something would happen to Han Xiaoyue, so he hurriedly chased out to separate the crowd and came to Han Xiaoyue's side.

Looking at the other party's tense situation, Li Jingxian pulled Han Xiaoyue behind him and said, "Brother Han, are these people looking for trouble for you?" ”

"Looking for trouble?" The man looked Li Jingxian up and down, "Young man, be careful when you speak!" ”

Li Jingxian subconsciously touched his back and found that he didn't have the bow and arrows with him, and he felt a little unconfident. But no matter what, Han Xiaoyue must not have any mistakes.

"Han Gongzi, Li Gongzi, you two leave quickly." While speaking, Mu Yaqin separated the crowd and walked over.

The man looked at it fixedly, laughed and said, "It turns out that you stinky girl is hiding here!" ”

Mu Yaqin snorted and said, "Your mouth is still so dry. I really can't imagine how Qingshuimen came out of such a scum as you. ”

The man's surname is Yu, a single name is a related character, and he is a disciple of the Qingshuimen Lingyuan Master. took advantage of the contradiction between the Lingyuan Quanshi and the Lingqiu Quanshi to develop his wings in a big way, and because of the little junior sister, he turned against Cheng Song, a disciple of the Lingqiu Quanshi. Now, he took advantage of the gap between the Lingyuan Spring Master and the Song army's expedition to Shu and left Qingshuimen. Not only did he ignore the sect's ban of "not allowed to use the Copper Bell Great Ring Knife", but he was also guilty of stealing the Clear Water Sword of the Spirit Spring Master. He didn't know that at the same time, the Spirit Spring Master had sent Cheng Song and many of his disciples to prepare to clean the portal.

Han Xiaoyue asked, "Miss Mu, do you know this person?" ”

Mu Yaqin turned around and said, "Master Han, you go back first." This person is the scum of Qingshuimen, named Yu She, arrogant and vicious, and has been following me all the way. Today, I think I have to make a decision. ”

Yu Shi smiled and said, "So, what I want, do you pay it or not?" ”

The corners of Mu Yaqin's mouth twitched: "I won't give you things, if you continue to entangle, don't blame me for turning my face and not being emotional." ”

"Stinky, toast and don't eat and drink! Let's see if your 'Golden Finger' is powerful, or my copper bell big ring knife is powerful! So saying, he drew out the big ring knife and stabbed it.

"Don't be rude to my master!" As soon as the words fell, I saw a flash of cold light, and a woman jumped in from the periphery of the crowd, holding a long sword, and flicked Yu She's big knife away. Then he raised his leg and kicked Yu She's crotch. Yu Shi let out an "oops" and fell to the ground, covering his crotch with both hands, his face covered with sweat. The entourage hurriedly stepped forward to help, but no one dared to parry. It turned out that it was Ah Qiu who came to escort him.

"It's you again!" An attendant scolded, "It's shameless to always come up with such indiscriminate tricks!" ”

Ah Qiu sneered at each other: "Say I'm shameless? You let everyone judge. Seven or eight of you big men, following me and my master all day long, plotting against me, who is shameless? ”

"You!" Yu Shi shouted, but he couldn't speak because of the pain.

Mu Yaqin stepped forward, threw down a glass bottle and said, "This medicine can invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, quickly find a corner to apply." If you delay any longer, I'm afraid you'll have to cut it off. After speaking, he snorted, hid his face and smiled. Everyone looked at Yu She's embarrassed appearance, and they also laughed out loud.

"You two wait for me!" After speaking, Yu Shi took the medicine and was helped away by his entourage.

Ah Qiu sighed and complained, "Master, you do this every time. If they weren't hurt a little, how could they die? ”

Mu Yaqin patted her on the shoulder and said, "Silly sister, they can't get close at all anyway, so let them go!" ”

The crowd dispersed. Han Xiaoyue stepped forward and saluted, "Thank you Miss Mu and Miss Ah Qiu for their help, so I drove them away." Miss Aqiu is really good kung fu! ”

Ah Qiu returned the salute and said with a little pride: "Han Gongzi has won the award." My kung fu can only be regarded as normal in our herbs......"

"Ah Qiu!" Mu Yaqin listened, and suddenly her face changed greatly.
