49.Chapter 49
There was a sudden crisp sound of a cup breaking in the courtyard, and the wooden door creaked open, Lu Sheng walked towards the door, and Shen Lun shouted hoarsely from the room: "Stop, stop him......"
Yue Nanlai didn't think twice, rushed to the gate of the courtyard in a few steps, and opened his hand to block in front of Lu Sheng.
Lu Shengsheng stopped, lowered his face and said, "Come south, get out of the way." β
Shen Lun stumbled and knelt at the door, hissing, "Lu Sheng! With your strength, but the mantis arm is used as a car, and the grasshopper shakes the tree, you can't go to death! β
Lu Sheng only felt that a fire in his heart was burning vigorously, but whenever he thought of the scene in front of Xie Yingheng's corpse, his heart ached, and he almost even stopped his breathing, he spun his feet, and rushed to the wall of the small courtyard. β
Lu Sheng was almost swept away by her and stumbled and fell, but he knew that she was well-intentioned, helpless and depressed, so he had to dodge first, use the scabbard to resist the broom, and said: "Come south, get out of the way, I'm here to save people!" β
Shen Lun's wound cracked, blood seeped out along his arm, and slowly stained the ground, but he didn't care about it, fastened the threshold, glared at his eyes and said: "Baoyang, you have only known Xie Ying for a few months, why not take a big risk for him, not even your life?" If you die, how many people will be grieved? β
If Lu Sheng died, naturally his brother and sister-in-law, master and uncle, relatives and friends would be heartbroken, but if Xie Ying died...... Lusheng is also going to be sad.
As soon as Lu Sheng's hand slowed down, he was swept across his cheeks by bamboo branches, and Nanlai had great strength, and he actually swept out a few traces of blood on his cheeks, and hurriedly threw the broom in horror, "Hug, hug Brother Yang......"
Lu Sheng said: "It's okay. Then he took advantage of the gap when Nanlai stopped, jumped onto the courtyard wall, turned his head and said: "Brother Yun Chang, come from Nanlai, don't worry, I won't send Xie Ying to death, and I won't let Xie Ying die in vain." β
He jumped down, walked like a fly, and ran out of the alley.
Xie Ying was caught off guard, sneezed lightly, and said in a low voice, "Rude." He took the silk handkerchief from Ruoxia's hand.
Nikko chuckled and said, "According to the customs of the Central Plains, I don't know which beautiful woman is missing Gongzi Xie?" β
Xie Ying is still in the post station, the periphery of the post station is full of feather forest guards, and the room is headed by the Qingfeng Guan Lord and the abbot of Yuanjue at this time, and there are many senior monks and real people, all in the name of asking for advice, and come to Xie Ying to ask for mystical arts.
A room of high scholars, everyone is highly respected, cautious in words and deeds, but the sun from the Western Regions has no taboos in words and deeds, and there is no scruple in asking questions.
Xie Ying only glanced at him and ignored it, and the rest of the people did not answer, Riguang felt a little bored, raised his hand and stroked the tip of his nose, Qingfeng Zhenren had already put a page of rubbings on the table, and asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask Gongzi Xie, is this the woodcut peach talisman that Master Ge is accustomed to?" β
Xie Ying swept it casually and said with a smile: "This is from the wooden box of the Xuanwu Town Soul Seal?" There are seven or eight points of similarity, but they are far from the original. β
Qingfeng Zhenren: "This ...... The matter is important, and I ask Gongzi Xie to identify it carefully. β
Xie Ying said: "Yes, yes, no, no, will I still admit the wrong teacher's handwriting?" β
Qingfeng Zhenren choked, so he had to turn around and say: "It's better to ask Gongzi to provide Master Ge's handwriting and give it to everyone here to identify together, and you can also convince the public." β
Xie Ying seemed to be smiling, took a folding fan and shook it lightly in his hand, and sneered indescribably, "Qingfeng Guan is a master of majestic talents, amazing talents, and aspiring to dominate the world's Taoism, his ambition is commendable, and his heart is lamentable, but the teacher refuses to belong to your Taoism and is unwilling to be governed by you, so why do you have to entangle again and again?" β
Qingfeng lowered his face and shouted: "The poor Dao is upright, it is to make the name of the teacher, but Gongzi Xie is sorry for every word, such a villainous behavior will inevitably make the world's colleagues feel cold!" β
Xie Ying snorted, her narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, slowly closed the paper fan, and sneered: "Fellow Dao? Just by virtue of your humble cultivation, you are also worthy of being called meβa fellow Taoist? β
In an instant, there was a crisp sound when the paper fan was closed, and Nikko got up and shouted, "Be merciful!" The piece of green jade on the crown of the black sarong cracked into pieces with a snap and fell to the ground. After repeating it, in fact, several incidents occurred in an instant, and suddenly the room was silent, Xie Ying's face was as usual, and the sun sat back in the seat with a wry smile, only the breeze was colorless, and the wheezing sound was heavy and harsh, revealing a palpitating panic.
At that moment, he saw a huge black dragon in front of him, and from behind Xie Ying, he was rushing towards him, with golden eyes, steel teeth, and poisonous mist.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Dao Tong behind him hurriedly stepped forward to help, and called out in a sad voice: "Master! Master! β
Qingfeng Zhenren came back to his senses, and was touched by the Taoist boy and couldn't stabilize his body, and fell to the ground crookedly, the cage crown rolled down on the ground full of broken jade, and he didn't care about his clothes, he used his hands and feet together, stumbled out of the room, and didn't look back.
That Dao Tong He had seen his Dao Bone Immortal Wind master appear in such an ugly state, and he was also at a loss for a while, so he had to pick up the Tongtian crown on the ground, and hurriedly chased Qingfeng out of the room.
The room was so silent for a while that the needles could be heard, all the masters were chanting the Buddha with their palms together, and they were frightened, and now the sunlight had also seen Xie Ying's methods, and he didn't dare to act rashly, only crossed his arms, frowned and pondered.
Fortunately, the silence did not last long, and the sound of clothes rubbing sounded, but it was Xie Ying who stood up, stood up, and glanced at everyone, as if the moon was hanging in the air, "If you have nothing to do, Xie will go home."
Before he finished speaking, a shrill voice suddenly came from outside the door, and he sang loudly: "The lord of Ningchang County has arrived-"
==========
Although Lu Sheng had expected it, now when he saw the Yulin Army surrounding the three layers inside and the outer three layers, he still felt extremely difficult. Fortunately, since Wei Su is the leader, half of the Tai soldiers who are now mobilized are Beiying sergeants, and their uniforms are the same, and the chance of fishing in troubled waters has increased a little.
A column of more than ten patrol guards approached, and the young lieutenant led by shouted: "Which team of sergeants is hanging out here?" β
Lu Sheng hurriedly lowered his head and clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Wen Yongsheng, the thirteenth team of Beiying, was ordered to come to support. β
The captain's gaze was slightly condensed, and it fell on Lu Sheng's face, Lu Sheng's expression was submissive, his hands were as steady as a rock, and he didn't move at all, letting him look at it carefully from head to toe.
The lieutenant suddenly burst out laughing, "It's just in time, keep up." β
Lu Sheng responded neatly, and then turned around and followed the patrol guard, and followed the patrol into the gate.
The lieutenant dismissed the team and said, "Wen Yongsheng, come with me to register." β
Lu Sheng had no choice but to say: "Obey!" β
The lieutenant led the way, walked to a secluded place, and saw that there was no one around, so he suddenly grabbed Lu Sheng's shirt, gritted his teeth and said, "Senior brother, what the hell are you doing!" β
Lu Sheng let him tighten his shirt and raise it, and said in a deep voice: "Third Senior Brother, the matter is urgent, I have to make this decision, and I also ask the Third Senior Brother to raise his noble hand." β
The captain was none other than Wei Su's third disciple Gao Tai, and when he heard this, he had to let go of Lu Sheng, and said hatefully: "Teacher Ping Suli praises you the most for worry-free, I didn't expect that it would be a monstrous disaster if you broke through!" What are you doing by breaking in? β
Lu Sheng said: "Third Senior Brother, I have already found out before, so I came in a hurry, Xie Ying was framed by a traitor, and he would never do such a murderous crime." β
Gao Tai frowned, he was already heroic, his thick eyebrows frowned, quite a little frightened Xiao Xiao's momentum, Lu Sheng only stared at him tightly, for fear that he would waver, so he drove himself out of the mansion, and said softly: "Third senior brother, you have always been the most righteous. Xie Ying has saved me many times, and now that I have suffered an unwarranted disaster, how can I not know that I will repay me? β
Gao Tai's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he bent his fingers and knocked on Lu Sheng's head, "You kid, you are used to cheating...... That's it, after all, I will ...... for you. Concealment is. β
Lu Sheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Senior Brother Xie! The third senior brother can rest assured, I will naturally act cautiously, and I will never affect my teacher and senior brother. β
He turned around and rushed down the corridor to the inner courtyard in one breath, but Gao Tai put his hands around his chest and said in a deep voice: "Xie Ying...... How did you bewitch my little junior brother? β
Xie Ying felt a slight itch on the tip of his nose again, but at this time, Sima Qian was eyeing him, and told him aloud about his crimes, Xie Ying had to raise his hand, rub his thumb slightly, and laughed in a low voice: "The county lord specially invited him to come to investigate the case in person, so loving, Xie Mou can't afford it." β
Sima Qian laughed softly: "Gongzi Xie's name, even the queen's mother is like thunder, the little woman is willful, which makes Gongzi laugh." However, the matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king, His Majesty ordered me to investigate thoroughly, and if there is any offense, please thank Gongzi Haihan. β
Xie Ying said: "What the county lord said is extremely true, I don't know how to investigate, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." β
Sima Qian said: "The little woman doesn't know how to do magic, so I still have to ask all the masters here to refer to it together, and I also ask you to temporarily move your jade toes and go to Xie Mansion to check." β
Xie Ying's face sank, and Ruoxia and Ruosong on the side had stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "Childe......"
Xie Ying only shook his head slightly, his eyes became more and more cold, and he only said: "In this case, Xie has to sweep the couch to welcome you to the cold house." β
Yuan Jue got up first, clasped his palms together to announce the Buddha's name, and said in a deep voice: "The poor monk has heard of Gongzi's good deeds, and he is willing to testify to Gongzi's innocence." β
Riguang also got up and said with a smile: "The little monk is not talented, and the prince will not give up, and he is willing to go together." β
Xie Ying said: "I dislike it very much. β
Nikko's smile was a little unbearable, but fortunately, the rest of the Daozhen, such as Chi Yuanzi and Donghe Zhenren, got up immediately and said: I am willing to go together to be a witness, so as to cover the past for the sun.
Everyone was mighty, and the Yulin Army was on the side and went to Xie's Mansion.
The guards led by Yan Xiu and the servants of the outer courtyard had already been imprisoned, and everyone walked through the courtyard to the inner courtyard, where two female officials greeted them, and they reported to the courtesy: "...... A secret room was discovered inside the Flower Hall. β
Sima Qian asked, "Has anyone ever been in?" β
The female official said: "Yulinwei is heavily surrounded, waiting for the instructions of the county lord, and has never let anyone in." β
Sima Qian smiled: "Since this is the case, please go in and take a look clearly." β
She should go to the flower hall first, followed by Xie Ying, and the teachers followed.
Ruoxia Ruosong was forced to stop in the courtyard, surrounded by guns and halberds, and all the soldiers were waiting for it, and the atmosphere was about to erupt.
Ruosong saw her anxious expression, and said in a low voice: "Gongzi is sitting upright, the secret room is empty, and there is no handle, why should Sister Ruoxia worry?" β
Ruoxia sneered: "If you really can't find the handle, you say that county lord will be so enthusiastic?" β
Ruosong was shocked: "Could it be...... Someone put something ......"
Ruoxia was silent, only frowned and looked in the direction of the flower hall.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the clouds seemed to be about to fall down on the heads of the people.
Everyone had entered the flower hall, and a Yu Linwei had been ordered to enter the secret room to check, and at this time he looked strange, and reported: "There is nothing abnormal, but there is a painting on the wall." It's ......"
He only hesitated for a moment, Sima Qian had already raised a hand, and said softly: "Needless to say, you can go and see for yourself." β
Headed by the county lord, everyone poured into the secret room, but saw that there was nothing in the room, and there was really a portrait of a person high hanging on the cyan wall, with brilliant colors and a beautiful painting.
The temples are towering, full of pearls, the red long skirt is wide at the waist, the sleeves are wide and long, embroidered with the phoenix and the rising sun, the wings are delicate, and the colors are beautiful.
The appearance is beautiful, the eyebrows are curved, the nose is like a hanging gall, the lips are like red diamonds, the jade face is stunning, and Luo Shen is in a dream, nothing more than this.
The work is excellent, the pen is like charm, rare in the world, everyone not only sighed in a low voice, but the sun was interested in appreciating the portrait, but Sima Qian's face was pale, staring at the portrait without saying a word.
Xie Ying chuckled, "The county lord led all the foreign masters here, isn't it just to appreciate this unparalleled beauty in the world?" Xie took a lot of effort to ask for the true handiwork of the Qianshan Prince, but he didn't want to announce it in front of others, but now he can't hide it. β
After all, Sima Qian slowly pulled out a smile and said jerkyly: "Gongzi Xie...... Good means. β
Xie Ying said: "I am sorry to be praised, but I dare not take it." It would be a good idea for the county lord to find out that I have this ink treasure. β
Sima Qian's slender figure was crumbling, and she was supported by the maid to withdraw from the secret room and sit quietly in the flower hall.
The Yulin army ploughed the ground and searched the inside and outside of Xie Ying's mansion, and then came to report: "There is nothing abnormal. β
Yuan Jue presided over the Buddha and pronounced the Buddha's name, and said to Xie Ying with his hands together: "Congratulations to Mr. Xie Ying, the poor monk is leaving." β
Xie Ying also returned the salute with his palms and responded: "Rejoice and rejoice, abbot, please." β
Yuan Jue actually said that he would leave, and Chi Yuanzi, Donghe Zhenren and others saw that the dust had settled on this matter, so they naturally did not stay long, and they left one after another. Nikko was reluctant to give up, admired the portrait again and again, and then turned back and walked away.
Yulin Jun Zuolang walked Huang Xuelin into the flower hall and saluted Xie Ying: "I am acting under orders, and I hope that Gongzi Xie is not strange." Then he turned to Sima Qian and said: "County Lord, Your Majesty and the Queen are waiting for the county lord to return to life." β
Sima Qian got up slowly and said with a smile: "Don't let Your Majesty and Niangniang wait for a long time, the little woman will say goodbye." β
Xie Ying said with a smile: "The county lord is filial piety, so don't go to other people's houses at will." β
Sima Qian was like being struck by thunder, her body shook for a moment, she glared at him viciously, and said sharply: "Xie Ying! At this time, at that time, I don't believe you can keep winning! β
Xie Ying only raised his hand, and Ruoxia, who had already been released, hurriedly stepped forward to pour tea for him, so he sat down, tasted tea comfortably, and said with a smile: "Come on, go and send off General Huang Lang and Lord Ningchang." β
Huang Xuelin bowed slightly, then waved his hand to signal all the soldiers in the hall to retreat together, Sima Qian was full of resentment and unwillingness, but now he had to go with him.
When the Yulin Army retreated in the flower hall, only one young sergeant remained, turned back to Xie Ying's side, took a cup directly, poured warm tea and drank it all, and then sighed: "I'm scared to death." β
This sergeant was naturally Lu Sheng, he took out a stack of hastily folded rice paper from his arms, crumpled it miserably with the two hanging scrolls, and handed it to Xie Ying, frowning and saying, "Ah Ying, this thing is very dangerous, it is better to burn it early." β
Xie Ying looked at the young sergeant, with a smile between his eyebrows, raised his hand, but instead of taking the drawing paper, he grabbed Lu Sheng's wrist and dragged him into his arms.
