Chapter 288: The Old Cat and the Mouse
"What can there be that you can't worry about? This is Rongquan City, and it's not a wilderness, what are you worried about? ”
Jiang Liang couldn't help but laugh when she heard Yuehua say this, she felt that it was a good feeling to take advantage of the night to walk home, and she didn't want Yuehua to follow her all the time.
"Dr. Zhang's development of the antidote is at a critical juncture, you might as well go over and help."
"......"
"No, it's my order."
Jiang Liang saw that Yuehua still wanted to object, so he deliberately straightened his face and made a majestic appearance. "You're not going to listen to me?"
"No, it's not."
Seeing that the master insisted like this, Yuehua had no choice but to nod and agree.
Seeing this, Jiang Liang finally showed a shallow smile with satisfaction, patted Yuehua's shoulder, turned around and separated from her.
Taking advantage of the night, Jiang Liang walked alone on the road, but he was thinking in his heart, when Lu Zongping led people to find the Taoist temple of the old Taoist priest, I don't know if this matter can end smoothly.
She was thinking about it, but she didn't notice that there was a figure following her not far behind her.
Lihua stared at Jiang Liang's back coldly, and after failing to seduce Zhao Jingxuan, she secretly ran out of Qinghui Pavilion.
Originally, she planned to meet someone and ask the other party about his next plan, but she didn't expect to see Jiang Liang who was alone at this time, and she couldn't help but have a plan.
Pear Blossom reached into her arms, took out a dagger directly from her arms, and pulled out the scabbard, the dagger shining in the moonlight.
She sneered, and quietly wanted to keep up with Jiang Li's footsteps.
Suddenly, a hand suddenly reached out from the shadows, and it grabbed her directly.
"You!"
Pear Blossom was caught by this hand, and was about to exclaim in surprise, but the man's eyes quickly covered his mouth, and he only had time to let out a short exclamation.
She was surprised, but she was not slow to react, and she raised her hand to stab the other person in the chest with the dagger in her hand.
However, the other party had already taken precautions, and when he saw this, he was not in a hurry, and took a step back directly, avoiding Pear Blossom's attack.
The man was obviously very dissatisfied with Rika's attitude, snorted lightly, released the restraint on her, and threw a palm directly on her face, letting out a crisp slap.
"Idiot!"
Pear Blossom was beaten to the point that her eyes were full of stars, but this palm also made her completely come back to her senses, and she saw clearly who the person in front of her was, and suddenly her pretty face turned pale.
She was terrified in her heart, and her feet were also soft, so she directly popped and fell to her knees.
"Master spare your life!"
"Bastard, how dare you be disrespectful to this Dao Master?"
The person who came was the old Taoist priest who Jiang Liang and they had been tracking, but he didn't expect to appear in this place, and even took action to stop the pear blossom who tried to make a move on Jiang Li.
Pear Blossom listened to the old Taoist's questioning, trembled with fright, and knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed.
"The master spares his life, the little one has eyes and no beads, but he didn't find out that it was you, the master...... Master, please spare this little one......"
Pear Blossom was so frightened that she cried bitterly, and her whole person trembled like chaff, which showed how afraid she was of the old Taoist priest in her heart.
The old Taoist priest admired her ugliness, and after a while, he nodded with satisfaction.
"This is not the place to talk, you come with me."
When Pear Blossom heard this, she was pardoned, so she couldn't care about the trouble of finding Jiang Liang at this time, so she hurriedly got up from the ground and followed behind the old Taoist priest.
The two of them walked all the way, passing through several alleys one after another.
It can be seen that this old Taoist priest is very familiar with the terrain of Rongquan City, but after a while, he directly took the pear blossom to a small courtyard.
Entering the small courtyard, the old Taoist priest sat down on the main seat, lazily picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water himself, drank a few sips to moisten his throat, and then looked at the pear blossom.
"Tell me, what were you going to do?"
Pear Blossom didn't expect the old Taoist priest to still hold on to this matter, and she couldn't help but be surprised when she heard the words, but she still answered truthfully.
"The little one wants to take the opportunity to kill that woman."
Rika knew that she couldn't lie in front of this old Taoist priest, otherwise the fate that awaited her would be worse than death.
Thinking of this, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Looking at Pear Blossom's frightened appearance, the old Taoist priest couldn't help laughing, as if he liked to see someone scared like this by himself.
However, before Rika could react, she saw a phantom flashing in front of her, and she felt a pain in her chest, and the whole person was kicked directly to the ground.
"Who made you assertive!"
The old Taoist priest stared coldly at the pear blossom who was struggling on the ground, and his eyes were so cold that it seemed to be able to freeze her whole person directly.
Rika couldn't help but shudder when she saw this scene, and she could hardly find any adjectives to describe her fear at the moment.
But she was not stupid, but she had an idea, and she reacted instantly, knowing that if she couldn't find a reasonable explanation at this time, she was afraid that she would die on the spot.
Taking a deep breath, Pear Blossom forcibly endured the blood that surged up her throat, and after swallowing it hard, she hurriedly got up again, walked on her knees for a while to the old Taoist priest, and hugged his leg directly.
At this time, where could Pear Blossom still see the arrogant appearance before, her eyes were full of fear, she cried tears and snot, and she didn't care about her image at all.
"Master, please spare me this time! I'm doing all this for the sake of my master! ”
The old Taoist priest glanced at Pear Blossom, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard her say this.
"Oh? What are you to think of me? ”
The old Taoist priest didn't believe Pear Blossom's words at all, but he didn't rush to do anything to her, but stared at her with interest, wanting to see if she had anything else to say to defend herself.
It's like a cunning old cat teasing a dying little mouse, obviously going to take his life the next moment, but at this time he has to deliberately pretend to leave the other party a glimmer of life.
Seeing this, Pear Blossom didn't perceive the danger at all, but was overjoyed.
"Master, it's like this, you let me get close to the one surnamed Zhao, staring at his every move, and finally I discovered his secret. It turned out that he was actually the overseer sent by the above! ”
I have to say that as soon as Pear Blossom said this, it attracted the attention of the old Taoist, and her expression suddenly became solemn.
"Is that true?"
Although Zhao Jingxuan said that he had already obtained this errand, he had not disclosed it to the outside world, and only planned to secretly grasp the situation in Rongquan City, and after seizing the exact evidence of the crimes of Boss Cai and others, he appeared and captured them in one fell swoop.
During this time, he had been using the secret guard to investigate some of the local officials' situation, and planned to wait until he found out the depth of Rongquan City before making plans.
The old Taoist priest only stared at Zhao Jingxuan when he got the tip, but he didn't expect him to have such an identity, and he was taken aback.
When Pear Blossom saw him like this, she was overjoyed, knowing that she had made the right bet this time.
She wiped her face indiscriminately, and then nodded solemnly.
"It's true!"
