From the way these people dress to talk and behave, it is more appropriate to say that they are not so much "officials" as "brocade guards......

A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on He Angelica's back, but fortunately, he hadn't talked to Zhenjing about the injured in the forest just now. In the middle of his thoughts, He Angelica shook his head and said: "If you go back to the official master, the two of us have not seen the repeat offender in your mouth." Before, the folk girl didn't know the identity of the official, and she made wild words, and asked the official to be strange. Zhenjing also nodded in agreement.

"Oh, since that's the case,......" the man in scarlet thought for a moment and said with a smile, "I don't know which Taoist temple the two girls are cultivating in, can you lead us over to have a look?" ”

He Angelica lowered his head in panic when he heard this: "If you go back to the official, the talented woman accidentally sprained her foot, and her movement is slow and inconvenient, I am afraid that it will delay the official's footsteps." The Taoist temple you are looking for is called 'Shuishang Temple', and it is at the end of the mountain road, so you have to ask the official to go by yourself. ”

The man in scarlet clothes saw her talking generously, and her voice was tactful and pleasant, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy, and said: "When ordinary women see officials, most of them will be ashamed and speechless, why are you so young when you see us not only fearful, but still able to answer like this?" ”

He Angelica lowered his head and smiled: "The official has been promoted, in fact, the people's daughters are also respectful and awe-inspiring to the official in their hearts, and it is completely courageous that they can insist on speaking until now." ”

"Haha, it's the first time I've seen such an interesting little girl as you," the man in scarlet clothes laughed, "You said your foot was injured, so it must be very hard to walk, right?" Anyway, we are on the same road up the mountain, so it's better for me to carry ......" The man in black behind him suddenly let out a loud cough and interrupted him unabashedly.

He Angelica glanced at them calmly, and broke the siege without a trace: "The weather in the mountains is changeable, and the rainstorm is coming, and it will increase the difficulty of the search at that time, why don't you set off as soon as possible?" ”

The man in black said in a rough voice: "This girl is reasonable, Duan Qi, you don't understand the truth that a little girl understands, you really live more and more!" After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left. He Angelica found out that all the people in front of him were gone. The man in scarlet waved goodbye awkwardly, and hurriedly raised his feet to chase the person in front of him.

Seeing them walking away, Zhenjing breathed a sigh of relief, and just wanted to open her mouth to say something, but when she saw He Angelica make a silent gesture, her eyes immediately widened, and she covered her mouth with her hands.

Duan Xiaolou caught up with the person in front of him in a few steps, and shouted to the man in black angrily, "Hey! The surname is high, in front of other girls, you can save me some face! ”

Gao Jue didn't speak with a cold face, Lu Jiangbei saw this, smiled and said: "Okay, okay, everyone is tired after a day of walking, why are you still in the mood to be vindictive!" With that, Lu Jiangbei took a step forward and walked between the two of them, separating the pair of vindictive enemies.

Liao Zhiyuan sneered: "I think Xiaolou is an old mistake again!" I am really convinced of him, and the objects of his care, from the teenage little sister to the forty-year-old sister-in-law, are more loving than the happy Buddha in the main hall......"

"Dead Lynx, you stop, stop!" Duan Xiaolou raised his hand and pushed him, "They are pure and quiet monks, and they have never offended you, why are you arranging people like this behind your back!" ”

Liao Zhiyuan "fluttered" and smiled: "General Duan, which ear did you hear me mention her?" I'm talking about Miss Lian'er and her mother! On the contrary, you must have seen that others were born beautifully, and you thought about it, and turned your head and became angry with me, but what is the reason? ”

The more Duan Xiaolou listened, the more anxious he became, he shouted, and kicked towards Liao Zhiyuan's lower plate with a flying kick.

Liao Zhiyuan jumped to hide behind Gao Jue, and said with a big grin: "It's a pity that Aunt Dao is too young, and she can only be a sister when she takes it home." But dare to ask Brother Duan, how many sisters have you found in Yangzhou this time? Can that red caravan still be squeezed? ”

Duan Xiaoloujun's face turned red, and his fists and feet immediately moved, and he defended himself in his mouth: "I have said it many times, that Xue Niang has a poor background, she was lost to Zuixiangyuan by her father-in-law's gambling money, she refused to obey, she was beaten all over her body by that bastard, and she was bent on throwing herself into the river to commit suicide, I couldn't stand it before I came to the rescue." And that Lian'er is even more sympathetic, after her father's death, her uncle seized the family property, she and her mother can only dig coal in the coal kiln to make a living, that bastard also plans to sell her to an old man as a concubine, I can't stand it......"

"So, Duan Dashao, you just took all their mother and daughter as ordered!" Liao Zhiyuan continued for him, and at the same time pulled Gao Jue in front of him as a shield, and blocked Duan Xiaolou's move "Youfeng Laiyi" and "Oolong Tail Swing".

Gao Jue just walked his own way with his head bowed, but for no reason he was swept to his nose by a gust of fist wind, and immediately like a lit cannonball, his left fist hit Liao Zhiyuan's chin, and his right foot swept the back of Duan Xiaolou's head. Duan Xiaolou was not afraid, changed his fingers, and while accepting the offer, he still did not forget to continue to teach the culprit a lesson.

So, Liao Zhiyuan was attacked on both sides, shouted that it was unfair, and turned his head to look at the other companions. The people he was looking at laughed and hid on both sides of the trail, refusing to help without sympathy.

"Hey, Jiang Pi, I only saved you once last month! Don't you know what it means to be grateful? Liao Zhiyuan was cheeky and asked for favors, "Boy, now it's time for you to repay your kindness, come and help your life-saving benefactor!" ”

Unexpectedly, Jiang Pi leisurely dug his nostrils and asked shamelessly: "Don't you know what it means to repay kindness?" ”

Liao Zhiyuan was angry, distracted by this conversation, the footwork under his feet was messed up, and he was almost rubbed by the superb iron fist, and he quickly shook his body and avoided it by only a millimeter. After dozens of rounds like this, Duan Xiaolou finally slapped Liao Zhiyuan on the lower abdomen, and he himself was unfortunately kicked away by Gao Jue's big foot - the battle finally ended with Gao Jue's victory.

Duan Xiaolou flew out a few feet from his side, knocked into a big poplar tree, and fell to the ground on his back. His eyes were still staring at Liao Zhiyuan, and he said indignantly: "You are not allowed to talk about this matter in the future!" I'm just saving people for the sake of saving people, it has nothing to do with Fengyue, it's not like you think at all! ”

Liao Zhiyuan was not lightly beaten, he covered his lower abdomen, wrinkled his face and said: "Your uncle, I can't help but tease, just say that you are in a hurry!" I don't have a sister in the boudoir to marry you, what are you trying to explain to me in a hurry! Besides, King Xiang has no dreams, the goddess may not be unintentional, then Lian'er looks at you, even the bones of the blind man are crispy, don't you know? If you continue like this, I'm afraid you'll never be able to please Madame...... Look, every time you say this, you have a black face! Oops, it hurts the master...... Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk about you. ”

It turned out that although Duan Xiaolou had a good family background, no matter how hard Duan's mother tried, she couldn't set a family affair for her son. But all the daughters of the first family of the prince's mansion, even the concubines, refused to discuss with the Duan family.

And the door of the Duan family is not something that ordinary women from small families can enter. After all, Duan Xiaolou is the only sister-in-law in the family, and his future wife will definitely find someone who can support the family and be in charge of the family. Therefore, Duan Xiaolou's marriage was put on hold, and he was still a lone ranger until he was twenty-three years old, which became a big heart disease for Duan's mother.

The most laughable thing is that Duan Xiaolou has a special emotion for women in his nature, and whenever he sees a woman suffering, he immediately can't help but want to "rescue". Now the women who have been "rescued" by his hands are not one hundred but eighty, and these weak women are all brought home by him, arranged to work in various courtyards of Duan Mansion, and if they can't be arranged, they are sent to Duan Ji's silk village, money village and restaurant.

Although Duan Xiaolou only had infinite sympathy for these women and did not have any other thoughts, those women who were brought home by him may not be incomprehensible. So three days and two ends, this one sent embroidered handkerchiefs, insoles, and that one gave sachets and belts, this one fainted at his feet "justly" when he walked, and the one who saw him pass by the lotus pond "accidentally" fell into the water, and struggled to call for help in panic......

All this, Duan's mother repeatedly forbade it, so the entire Gaomen Mansion of Yingtianfu gradually began to spread the romantic deeds of the Duan family's son.

Since Duan Xiaolou became famous, no young lady was willing to marry him. After all, as a woman, as soon as she heard that she had not yet passed the door, there was already an extremely spectacular "army of love enemies" waiting for her to "eliminate", and she was so frightened that her heart trembled. Therefore, people would rather marry an old man to fill the house than dare to be the daughter-in-law of his Duan family.

And Duan Dashao himself didn't know whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, not only did he not try to repair the damaged image, but he was also tirelessly adding "love enemies" to his future daughter-in-law at an average rate of four or five people a month, and at the same time, he was also very unfilial to increase the difficulty of his mother's "great cause of discussing relatives".

In fact, in all fairness, you can't blame the women who were saved. Think about it, what woman can be unmoved by a man who saves herself from fire and water? What's more, that person is still a handsome and incomparable young man, a young and promising noble son. They all believe that sincerity is what they do, and the golden stone is open, so they unremittingly use their "finger twisting" to influence the "stubborn stone".

"Enough! No matter how noisy it is, it's dark, and we're here to investigate the case, not to go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Gao Jue said coldly, "Duan Xiaolou, if you put a little more of those messy thoughts on the case, why don't you let go of the most important clues!" ”

Without waiting for Duan Xiaolou to respond, Lu Jiangbei hurriedly jumped out to be a peacemaker: "Okay, okay, okay, you can't blame Xiaolou alone for this matter, that guy is more slippery than a loach, aren't we all in his way?" Everyone's feet are tired, so you can say a word less, and save some strength to hurry! Now, the way down the mountain has been blocked by our people, huh...... I don't think it's as good as this, tonight we will spend the night in the Taoist temple, recuperate, and then thoroughly search the mountain tomorrow. After that, he turned his head and asked the blue-robed man, "Lord Geng, what do you say?" ”

Master Geng thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "No, not just tonight, we are going to stay in the Taoist temple until we leave Yangzhou." ”

"Huh? Why? Everyone was surprised and asked in unison.

Lord Geng stood with his hands in his hands, looked at a cloud in the distance and said: "Catching the fugitive is just by the way, in fact, we have another purpose for this trip to Yangzhou." The less people know about the ins and outs of this matter, the better, and when you need to know, I will naturally tell you. ”

Lu Jiangbei and Gao Jue exchanged a puzzled look, but they didn't ask any more. To be honest, they still can't see through the temperament of the new commander of the Jinyi Guard. It can be said that he is gentle and relaxed, but he always feels that it is difficult to get close to him, as if there is a wall of qi around him that can isolate him from others. Let's say that he is arrogant and unkind, but this is not the case. Doing things under his hands is staggeringly free.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the absurd fights between Duan Shao and Liao Shao, from time to time he would come alive in front of Geng Commander Servant, but he didn't even have half a word of reprimand, or a displeased look. In fact, he neither restrained him as a chief, nor did he watch the excitement with the group, as if he were a non-existent person...... In short, Geng Yi did this thing, so that these few people wandered around the palace, officialdom and the people all the year round, and they couldn't get to the bottom of the old rivers and lakes that they knew that they had read countless people.

Thinking of this, for some reason, an inexplicable chill suddenly rose in Lu Jiangbei's heart, and he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Anyway, those two little Dao aunts are really walking slowly," he said and raised his eyes to look down the mountain, "It's strange that we have been delayed here for so long, but we haven't seen them come up yet, and there is no trace at all!" ”

Duan Xiaolou also felt unusual, busy with his ears, listened quietly for a while, and frowned: "Indeed, I can't even hear their footsteps, hey, they won't have an accident, right?" Why don't we go find ......?"

Gao Jue urged with a straight face: "Come up the mountain, I'm hungry." ”

Lu Jiangbei patted Duan Xiaolou on the shoulder, and couldn't help but smile: "Why do you bother to worry about it, maybe people don't want to go with us, so they deliberately fell behind." You forgot, just now we followed behind others, listened to the whispers of the girl's family for a long time, and you laughed out loud, she must have annoyed us in her heart. Let's go, each other is in the same Taoist temple, are you afraid that you won't see each other in the future? ”

So, Duan Xiaolou closed his mouth in peace, and the group continued to move forward.

Who knew that after walking for a while, Liao Zhiyuan was restless again, he poked Duan Xiaolou's waist with his elbow, and squinted his eyes and said, "Hey Duan Shao, to that beautiful and elegant little Taoist aunt...... Are you also just curious, 'irrelevant to Fengyue'? ”

Duan Xiaolou's ears were hot, and he snorted coldly angrily: "It's endless, why are you mentioning her again!" ”

"Whoa!" Liao Zhiyuan wolf howled, "Duan Shao, your ears are red!" You don't really like people, do you? ”

"Have you had enough of the? Eat me with another! ”

"Brother, I see, this little girl is really good. Hey, turn your head around, and don't ignore me! I think it's at least better than the ones you brought home, and if you bring it back to your mother, she'll like it. Wait a few more years to be slim, and it will be more than enough to make you a concubine. Well, if you 'rescue' her from the Taoist temple of pure suffering, you can be regarded as her benefactor, and she may be grateful for it, and she may make a personal promise......"

"Get out! The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, and if there is a shadow, you will pop up! Why don't you take her back to see your mother! ”

"Ha, everyone, listen, Duan Shao has finally confessed! He ...... in his heart There's already a shadow! ”

"Wild lynx, you still want to fight, right?"

※※※

"Xiaoyi, why do we have to go back again? Didn't you say before that we couldn't go to the injured man? And those people were officials just now, so aren't the wounded in the forest the bad guys they want to catch? ”

"Don't ask so much, look, this shape of grass, you can also help me find it nearby." He Angelica raised the round-leaved grass in his hand.

"Oh." Zhenjing obediently bent down to help find it.

After looking for a while, the two of them got five or six of those round-leaved grasses. "Okay, these are enough," He Angelica pulled up Zhenjing and smiled slightly, "Let's go, let's go save people." ”

"Saving people? All right! But let's help the bad guys, is that okay? Zhenjing blinked.

He Angelica's hands were clenched into fists, his nails pinched out the juice of the grass in his hands, his eyes were like cold stars, and his face seemed to be smiling: "It's really quiet, things in the world are not either good or evil, just like you monks often say, good and evil are all in one thought." ”
