Chapter 52: After the Fact
Xue Jingyan sighed and tried his best to dodge, but the injuries on his body still added a lot.
But he didn't want to admit defeat and wanted to fight again with his own perseverance.
Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of a man in black, he stabbed his sword into his chest.
When the man in black saw that his own people were injured, his hand movements became more and more violent.
Xue Jingyan tried it and found that he couldn't even get back the sword that was stabbed in someone else's chest. He looked into the distance with some reluctance, but found that several people in the distance came quickly with light skills, and saved the leader of the men in black when his sword was about to hurt him again.
Xue Jingyan looked at those people, squinted his eyes, and said softly: "You are here......" There was infinite amazement in his words.
It's really shocking.
I didn't expect that in the end, someone arranged by my father would come to the rescue, and my father should be disappointed.
Xue Jingyan closed his eyes a little weakly.
Those who came after quickly wiped out more than half of the previous man in black. The leader of the men in black saw that he could not do anything, and quickly fled. These people didn't chase him, they just watched him go away, and someone had already come to Xue Jingyan's side for treatment.
Li Jiyang at the foot of the mountain didn't know what the situation was on the mountain, not to mention that he knew that the kung fu of those people in the Demon Sect was really good, and he used medicine, thinking that it would really make this noble son die in Huangquan.
He packed up his things, took care of them, and went back first, so that the rest of the people could clean up. The dead officials and the Li family naturally moved back to be buried, and the rest were burned.
In order not to make Xue Jingyan suspicious, he really did a big job today. Anyway, except for his own reluctance, he doesn't care about the rest. He waved his hand, and under the escort of his men, he went back with some pride.
For a long time after that, he hadn't heard of the Demon Sect and Xue Jingyan, which made him feel a lot more relieved. Xue Jingyan has no news, I'm afraid he was really killed by someone in the Demon Sect, there is no news from the Demon Sect, it's a good thing, he doesn't want to deal with those people.
As for Xue Yuan, the ledger had already been taken back anyway, and Xue Yuan had already suggested that the people in the Demon Sect should kill him quickly so that he would not have too many dreams at night, so he had nothing to worry about.
Ah Chen finally talked about a little girl, which made Li Jiyang very angry and punished Ah Chen with forty rods.
He remembered the girl he saw that morning, and when he heard Zheng Nan say that he seemed to recognize Xue Jingyan as his master, he felt a diaphragm in his heart, and Ah Chen's injury was not yet healed, so he sent him to quickly find someone to cut the grass and eradicate the root cause to prevent future troubles.
Zheng Nan has been a little silent these days, and Li Jiyang is too lazy to take care of him, but for the sake of the head of Zheng Nan's own family in the capital, he is also offering him good food and drink.
On this day, knowing the news that Zhu Yan was missing and might still be alive, Li Jiyang came to talk to Zheng Nan.
"Tuk Tuk ......"
Li Jiyang came to Zheng Nan's room and knocked on the door very politely.
Zheng Nan did not have a little maid around him, so he opened the door by himself, and when he saw Li Jiyang outside the door, his expression was unnatural for a while, and he subconsciously wanted to close the door, but the next moment he opened the door wide, respectfully invited Li Jiyang in, and closed the door casually.
"Master Li, I don't know what you have to do here?"
Zheng Nan knew that there shouldn't be anything good for him to come, and he was stopped by his people from going out these days when he wanted to leave.
He felt ashamed in his heart, and he didn't want to go out, and he didn't even want to go back to the capital.
Li Jiyang told him about the little girl he saw at the Li Family Inn that day, and asked Zheng Nan if he knew where she had gone now.
Zheng Nan shook his head and said, "I don't know. That day, Childe asked me to buy pastries, thinking that he was going to break me away, and it seemed that he was suspicious of me at that time. ”
Li Jiyang saw that he still couldn't let go of that bit of master-servant, and he was a little disdainful in his heart, and said: "Now that your son-in-law is gone, I'm afraid he was killed by those people in Erlong Mountain." If you really feel guilty, you might as well go up the mountain and kill more bandits for him to avenge him. ”
In the past few days, the news of Xue Jingyan's disappearance has not spread, but it has only been slightly revealed to those who know the news of Xue Jingyan's coming to Munan City.
Everyone only knows that Xue Gongzi wants to suppress the bandits, but he has mixed himself up, which makes people can only sigh.
As for whether it's true or not, no one cares anyway, as long as you fool the past and don't let the regent attack them because of the pain of losing a child.
Therefore, the government has been very frightened since it got the news of Li Jiyang, and has been planning to attack Erlong Mountain in the past few days.
In any case, because the bandits in his own jurisdiction killed the children of the regent's family, this official position may not be kept.
The magistrate of Munan City had a headache with his black gauze hat, and invited the heads of the three families of Wang Limu to have a good discussion, and the words were to ask these families to advance and retreat together to exterminate these lawless bandits. There is some meaning in the words, but it is to ask these three families to raise their noble hands, so that he can avenge the sixth prince so as not to have some accidents. This revenge, even if it can't be avenged, has to be put on a show.
This magistrate, who has been doing this for so many years, can naturally understand that the bandits on Erlong Mountain are so rampant, there must be a big family in the city behind them, otherwise, in the situation on the mountain, it is strange to be able to retain talents. The days on the mountains are hard, and only the desperate will go there. The better the life passes, there will be more and more talents.
Naturally, the heads of the three families fully supported the county governor's action.
In the past, the three families have not torn their faces with the magistrate, and they have always maintained a good atmosphere of politeness on the surface. As for whether there is anything behind the scenes, the county can't control it and doesn't dare to manage it.
This time, the magistrate only thought that it was the same as before, and it was good to have a tacit understanding with each other, but he didn't expect that the heads of the three families would also promise to give some people and money from their families out of righteous indignation to support the magistrate county to suppress bandits.
The magistrate was a little moved, but he didn't know that a few people didn't want to behave unkindly, and they would be liquidated by the regent when the time came. Especially Li Jiyang, he was frightened, regretful, guilty, and uneasy, and he just muttered that he should stop the sixth prince from letting him go to the bandits, who told him to let him go up when he saw that the son was indeed strong in martial arts. As he spoke, many tears were shed.
The magistrate looked at his performance and felt a sense of kinship. Fortunately, with the Li family as a shield, his pressure is much lighter. Looking at Li Jiyang's appearance, he only had one word in his heart, the. Let him directly lead people to suppress the bandits. He didn't dare to go himself!
But after thinking about it carefully, he didn't dare to go, because he knew that the bandits on Erlong Mountain had nothing to do with Wang Limu's three families, and there was no need to hope for anything if they didn't have a strong force. So, how could Li Jiyang dare to go up, how could he dare to take Xue Jingyan up. Moreover, he didn't have an accident, but Xue Jingyan had an accident?
Zhixian didn't dare to think about it anymore, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, and he was terrified to think about it!
