Chapter 42: Get the Jade Pendant Back
When Lu Li arrived at the Moon Shadow Palace, the two were fighting each other, and the doorkeeper was also watching from behind the door, so she pushed the door and slipped in while the two were not paying attention.
The scene was in a mess, Lu Li walked next to the onlookers and patted the shoulder of a little brother next to him.
"Brother, how long have these two been fighting?"
"It's been almost half an hour, I didn't expect this kid to be quite powerful, and it is really not easy to distinguish victory from defeat with our palace master."
The little brother's attention was all on the two people who were fighting, and he didn't notice that there was one more person beside him.
"That's like no other." Lu Li was quite proud.
Only then did the little brother turn his head to look at her.
"Who are you? When did you come in? ”
"I came in at the beginning, you just didn't pay attention." Lu Li opened his eyes and said nonsense, seeing that the little brother didn't believe it, he hurriedly changed the topic, "Eh, your palace master is about to lose!" ”
The little brother's attention was shifted back to the stage, and Lu Li stood next to him, looking at Shangguan Yinling with some apprehension.
The sword shadow in the hands of the two people flew up, and with the sword momentum, the surrounding fallen leaves were danced and floated, floating up and down between the two, Lu Chenghe's sword was almost impossible to see how he made a move, Lu Li was afraid that Shangguan Ling would not be able to avoid it, but he seemed to have seen through Lu Chenghe's momentum a long time ago, and he did not fall behind at all.
Lu Li's hands were slightly clenched at her side, and her palms couldn't help but sweat, she was nervous, but she also knew that the two of them were inseparable at the moment, and it was too late to stop them, so she could only wait for the two of them to run out of physical strength or one of them would lose first.
Lu Li stood for another half an hour, keenly hearing the slightly tired breathing of the two, and the two also found that the martial arts were indistinguishable, so they simply put away the sword, gathered the internal force in the palm, and slapped it towards the other party.
Both palms were murderous, falling on each other's shoulders, and both of them were beaten out a few feet away, both supporting their upper bodies, bowing their heads and spitting blood.
"Your Excellency!" Lu Li shouted, and hurriedly rushed up to support him, "Don't fight anymore, don't fight again, I don't want that jade pendant." ”
Seeing that her eyes were red and tears were almost full, Shangguan Yuling's heart seemed to be pressed by a thousand catties of boulders, he calmed his breath in his body and stood up with his sword.
"How's that going to work? Promises made to people, walk the talk. He straightened up with his sword and reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Lu Li hurriedly stopped in front of him, seeing that Lu Chenghe was also injured, and was busy mediating.
"Palace Master Lu, it won't be good for anyone to fight any longer, so let's stop it!"
"Okay, Erya, you come to the deity." Lu Chenghe got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and beckoned to Lu Li, Lu Li got up and wanted to step forward, but Shangguan Yinling grabbed her hand from behind.
"Although the Lu Palace Lord is arrogant and domineering, he is not a person who cares about human life, if I can't retreat with my whole body, the adults will save me again."
"This official will not save you." Shangguan Yuling coughed twice, let go and let her step forward, Lu Li walked a few steps away from Lu Cheng and stopped.
"Palace Master Lu, you are a hero in the rivers and lakes, so don't worry about people outside of our martial arts, I'm afraid it will be bad for your reputation if it spreads,"
No matter how you say that they are all people from the imperial court, even if Lu Chenghe wins the battle against Shangguan Yinling, he will not say anything on his face, and he will have to bear the charge of bullying.
"When did the deity ever care about such a thing as fame?" Lu Chenghe retorted with some contempt, Lu Li thought about it carefully, it seemed to be right, the Moon Shadow Palace was originally notorious in the rivers and lakes, and he was about to say something, but he spoke first, "But since this jade pendant is given to you by its owner, it is your item, and the deity will not be loved." ”
As he spoke, Lu Chenghe took out the jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Lu Li, looking at her joyful appearance when she took the jade pendant, and his heart was also a little relieved.
This kid still cares a little bit about his sister.
"As for Shangguan Yinling, he is really stubborn, the deity has not said that he will not return the jade pendant to you, and he has made a killing move when he comes up, the deity is the master of the first palace, in front of his own brothers, how can he be underestimated?" Saying that, Lu Chenghe was a few feet away, and he gave Shangguan Yuling a look to fight another day from a distance, lowered his eyes and looked at Lu Li and said, "It's a good opponent, and I will definitely have a hearty fight with him if I have the opportunity in the future." ”
"Thank you palace master for cutting love, then we will leave." Lu Li finally appeased Lu Chenghe, and pulled Shangguan Yinling to leave the Moon Shadow Palace.
The two rode away as their horses drifted away, and the gate of the Moon Shadow Palace behind them became smaller and smaller.
"My lord, why do you say that you are so stubborn, you have arrived in Yingzhou, why bother to go back to Yizhou to find Lu Chenghe?" Lu Li sighed, took out the special tonic medicine made by Old Man Zhou from his arms, and handed Shangguan Lingling two pills, he took it and swallowed it, luckily, and his body was a lot more comfortable.
"Since I promised you to retrieve the jade pendant, I will never break my word." The horse walked slowly, Lu Li couldn't help but look sideways at his look, in the sun, he had some sweat on his forehead, but his expression was too firm, and there was a light in his eyes, which she had never seen in others.
Be faithful as He is, be upright as He is, be stubborn as He is, and be good as He is.
"My lord, let's hurry up and respond to the state, otherwise it will be dark."
The two rode their horses together, and the horses galloped indulgently on the official road, and when the day passed, the two rushed to the outside of Yingzhou City.
Unfortunately, the city gate was closed at this time, and the two could only stay in the woods outside the city for one night.
Tethered the horse to the tree, the two of them made a fire and collected firewood alone, Lu Li carried all the firewood that could be lit nearby to Shangguan Yinling, he lit the fire fold, put the fire fold under the branch and slowly lit it.
Soon the bonfire illuminated the night and brought warmth, the two sat down around the bonfire, Lu Li roasted the fire for a while, and then began to sleepy.
After a while, in the quiet woods, two inexplicable "cooing" sounds sounded.
The two of them had not eaten for a day, and they had been busy for another day, and by this time, their stomachs were empty, and they had already begun to shout.
"My lord, if you are injured, don't move, and go catch two pheasants and come back."
Lu Li volunteered to go out to find food, in the fields and woods outside the city, the number of pheasants was very large, but later there were often hunters to hunt and kill, and slowly there were not many, these animals also have spirituality and learned to hide themselves.
Lu Li has lived in the wild since she was a child, and she is quite experienced in catching this kind of animal, and after a short time, the small trap she set up has already trapped a pheasant, she grabbed it, took it to the river to clean it up, and then took it back to roast it by the bonfire.
It's a pity that there is no salt around, otherwise the taste would be excellent.
The light of the bonfire flickered, the flames licked the skin of the pheasant, and gradually roasted the surface to a golden brown, and the thick aroma of roast chicken came to his nose, and Lu Li came close to smell it.
It smells so good!
She reached out and tore off a plump and juicy chicken leg with a scald, and handed it to Shangguan Yuling, with a smile on her face.
"My lord, eat chicken legs."
