Chapter 33: The Righteous Hat
He thought for a long time, and finally lowered his eyes and said softly:
"I'm sorry, it's my fault, I won't be in the future." He hadn't thought much about it before, but when Jun Ye inadvertently mentioned it yesterday, he felt that it might not be a wise move to delay Xiao Luo's life like this and tie him to his side. Hearing his answer at this time, he realized how naΓ―ve and stupid his idea was: if Xiao Luo was really for money, with his ability, wouldn't it be much happier to be the head of the martial arts hall casually than to enter the mansion and be his personal guard? And why come in and suffer? When he said that, it was simply an insult to him. However, when he first arrived, he didn't know himself at all, so how did he decide that he wanted to enter the General's Mansion?
The anger released from the person in front of him instantly dissipated because of Mu Changfeng's words, he slowly lowered his arm, sighed, and said in a serious voice:
"Amu, I entered the General's Mansion as a personal guard, just because of you." Mu Changfeng's eyes trembled suddenly, complex emotions passed through his heart, and as soon as he wanted to speak, he heard Xiao Luo say:
"It's getting late, I'm going to prepare dinner."

Wild Island. Dark clouds float over the islands, and raindrops will not fall, hiding in layers of cirrus clouds.
The two figures, one purple and one red, were as still as ice sculptures, and in front of them was a towering mound of earth. Under the mound, there are twenty or thirty innocent people, including Ah Hu and Aunt An, buried. Around the mound are a few small dandelions, and the delicate seeds of the flowers are as delicate as feathers, scattered in the wind in every corner of the mound.
"I, Shang Jin, have finally avenged you." Shang Jin's deep voice sounded, and a dandelion flower seed that was blown by the wind but did not leave was reflected in his eyes, and he said softly:
"Ah Hu, I remember everything you told me...... Go away and don't stay in this sad place. In the next life, if you still want to be brothers with me, we will meet again......" His voice trembled, watching the cluster of dandelions slowly rise into the air, raising his head, holding back his tears, and muttering:
"Don't do it, I'm a trouble, I can't bother you anymore." Beside him, Mu Ningjiu held his trembling hand and silently supported.
I don't know how long it took, Shang Jin stretched out his hand and sprinkled the cool sake in front of the mound, and said in a trance:
"Let's go." The light on the ring flashed, and the two disappeared into thin air, leaving only the white gull hovering over the island, making a "whining" cry, like a cry.
As night fell, this barren island finally fell asleep.

Zuo Sheng followed Mu Ning Jiu Shangjin to the Zuihualou, saw Ye Shi sitting on the table, raised his eyebrows and said:
"What? You go too? Ye Shi seemed to hear the faint disdain contained in his words, his eyebrows furrowed, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"That's right. How? What advice does Lord Zuo have? β
Zuo Sheng said lightly:
"Don't dare, don't dare." Ye Shi snorted coldly when he heard this, and listened to him say again:
"My brittle bones can't stand the toss of the dominatrix." When Ye Shi heard this, his willow eyebrows were raised, he slapped the table with a "snap", and he rolled up his sleeves to hit Zuo Sheng. The latter quickly hid behind Mu Ningjiu and said indignantly:
"Swing your fists at every turn, what kind of woman is ......" Ye Shi saw Mu Ningjiu protecting Zuo Sheng, and sneered:
"What kind of man is he who shrinks his neck at every turn?!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Mu Ningjiu said with a headache, "My two little ancestors, if you continue to quarrel, the Yude faction will kill all the bad guys in the world!" Xiao Shi, don't you think there's something wrong with them? Now that this is the case, are you not going to investigate it thoroughly? And you Zuo Sheng, is it okay if your job is robbed like this? β
"Humph!" The two turned their heads at the same time, not looking at each other, but still followed out of the drunken flower building without saying a word.
As soon as the four of them arrived at Tiger Roaring Xuan, they heard a strong man with a beard on his face shouting:
"Yude faction is recruiting! As long as you have a heart that is uneven, you can participate unconditionally and become a disciple of our faction! As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of people rushed up and surrounded the man.
"Don't worry, come one by one, you can join the faction!" Immediately afterwards, Mu Ning Jiu and the four people followed the main stream, and went out of the side door of Hu Xiaoxuan with a beard, went around a few streets, and came to a courtyard. A man in black walked out of the room, and his beard arched at him, and said:
"My lord." The man's emotionless eyes swept lightly over everyone present, nodded slightly, and said:
"Toast." Subsequently, several Yude disciples gave each of them a wine bowl and poured wine.
The bearded man raised the porcelain bowl flat on his chest and roared:
"To the !! of Justice"
"To the !! of Justice" Everyone agreed, Mu Ningjiu smelled the wine, and after not smelling anything unusual, he drank it all.
"Smack!" One by one, the bowls were smashed to the ground and shattered. Seeing this, the bearded man smiled and said loudly:
"From today onwards, you are the seventh generation disciple of the Yude Sect. Although our sect has not been in existence for a long time, and it does not have as many rules as other sects in the rivers and lakes, the only, that is, the most important point, is the safety of the people. Jealousy and hatred are the qualities possessed by the disciples of the Yude School, and they will always be passed on to ensure that the world in which we live can always be peaceful. When everyone heard this, their eyes flashed with excitement, and the weapons in their hands clenched slightly, as if they couldn't wait to drink the blood of the wicked. Shang Jin raised his eyebrows: It sounds quite inspiring, no wonder there are so many followers.
Ye Shi secretly wondered: This bearded, seemingly spiritual leader-like figure, why does he inexplicably have a feeling of deliberately confusing everyone? Although justice is important, this justice is defined differently in everyone's mind, so how should it be regulated? By putting justice in the supreme position, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will ignore many things, such as kindness, mercy and forbearance, because of blind justice. Isn't the tragedy of that woman caused by the people of the Yude sect the result of them taking justice too seriously? While she was thinking, the cold-faced man put a black logo in the shape of a rose on each of them.
"This flower is a symbol of the Yude sect, and it is attached to your left wrist for identification." Mu Ningjiu carefully examined the flower, but did not find anything peculiar: this dye is also ordinary, non-toxic and harmless. There are many disciples of the Yude Sect, and they are all distributed in all directions on weekdays, which should be just something similar to the sect token.
"Since you're new to the faction today, you can start with a simple one. Bai Chen Incandescent, each of you will bring ten disciples to familiarize yourself with the process of the Yude Sect. β
"Yes." Mu Ningjiu gave Shang Jin a look, leaned over to Ye Shi's side, and said in a low voice:
"You're with me."
On the other side, Shang Jin and Zuo Sheng followed Incandescent out of the courtyard and rushed towards Liuxiang in the south. Inside the white walls covered with turquoise vines is a gorgeous mansion. The exquisitely carved glazed tiles and wooden windows reveal a sense of atmosphere and calm. Incandescent gestured to the people behind him with a "shh Someone used a sword to pick open the heavy package beside him, and found that it was all jade and jasper, which was priceless.
"This is the Xu Mansion, right? Prime Minister Xu is generous and generous, but he didn't expect to be stolen by such wicked people to save people's money! It's more than innocent! β
"yes, that's abominable!" A few big men were angry, and they clenched their fists and gave him a few kicks, and some people cut them with knives. Although the action was not as drastic as that of Lady Xia, it was also purely superfluous. Shang Jin frowned and asked Zuo Sheng with his eyes. The latter scanned the man's surroundings with his eyes, then nodded.
Zuo Sheng secretly wondered: This Yude faction is exterminating the wicked, but he still can't understand their excesses after the death of the deceased. And how did Incandescent know that there would be thefts here? Is there a dominant person calling the shots every time they act, or is it the only exception this time? Thinking of this, he asked:
"How do you know there's going to be a thief here? It's amazing! In order to avoid suspicion, he deliberately disguised a tone of surprise. Incandescent hooked her lips and raised her eyebrows proudly:
"Although our Yude faction has only developed for a short time, the intelligence network we have is not inferior to those major sects. The Yude faction is divided into two parts, one is you, and the other is the elder-level members, they are responsible for many things, and the top secret is inconvenient to disclose, but this order is issued from their place, and then conveyed to you, one by one. The crowd applauded. Shang Jin looked at the pool of blood on the ground and frowned:
"What now?" Incandescent took a porcelain vase from his robe and sprinkled it on the corpse. With a "bang", the corpse turned into a puddle of black water. Shang Jin raised his eyebrows: Isn't this the corpse scatter that the little fox once used? It is said to be extremely rare, but I didn't expect that there are also people from the Yude faction.
"What are you doing here?" A deep male voice asked.
Incandescent picked up the package on the ground, bowed to the visitor, and said with a smile:
"Presumably this is the famous Prime Minister Xu, right? Xiaosheng incandescent, a disciple of the Yude faction. I just passed by and saw a thief stealing something in your mansion, and hurriedly came in to stop it. β
Xu Chengxiang took the package, saw its contents, touched his beard and smiled: "Oops, it's so good!" You don't have to apologize, but you have to thank you. This thief is at large, and the old man can't do anything to him, and he can't do anything about it! Unexpectedly, the Yude faction came to the rescue in time to help remove this big scourge. The contents of this package are not valuable, so I will give them to you as a thank you gift. β
"Then how can you be embarrassed to accept it, Prime Minister Xu." Incandescent excused.
"Take it, just be careful."
"Prime Minister Xie, that little student is better to be respectful than to obey his fate."
β¦β¦
Shang Mansion.
"Zuo Sheng, do you have any special discoveries over there?" Mu Ningjiu asked.
