Chapter 65: Who's the Great Demon
"Boom!" Nan Xiutong flashed over with her knife and blocked the prince's sword, her eyes as sharp as her blade, "You are killing innocents indiscriminately!" β
She turned back and said to the guard, "Let go!" He's not a prisoner, it's the one on the ground that you should be pressing!" The guards did not hear the prince's order and did not dare to let go.
The prince withdrew his sword: "You are quite bold, but I don't like a woman like you. β
Ling Nai raised her eyes, glared at the prince, broke free from the guard, and blocked in front of Nan Xiutong: "Don't insult Anan with words, she doesn't need you to like it." She works for the yamen, and she has to be criticized by you, it's really unlucky! β
"It looks like you don't know how serious things are yet." The prince glanced at Ling Nai contemptuously, "It's useless. He bowed his head to the Taoist priest, "Can you see his true body?" β
The Taoist priest unhurriedly pulled out a palm-sized silver plate, which was made of copper discs with incomprehensible patterns and symbols. He walked around Ling Nai, chanting the mantra in his mouth, and everyone looked at the Taoist priest and Ling Nai with bated breath.
The silver plate shook, and the Taoist priest shouted: "Monster, where to escape!" β
Ling Nai subconsciously took a step back, his heart beat faster, and looked back at Su Jingtang and Wen Xun. Su Jingtang took a bite of the meatloaf and smiled, Ling Nai's heart became inexplicably peaceful.
Nan Xiutong's hand put on his shoulder and said in a low voice: "Go quickly, go as far as possible, don't come back!" β
"They're going to be angry with you." Ling Nai's gaze was firm, and he didn't move.
The silver plate in the Taoist priest's hand began to rotate, and it turned faster and faster, he sensed that something was wrong, took out a copper bell, and tried to control the silver plate, but the copper bell not only did not ring, but the silver plate did not react at all, and opened the package, and the things he regarded as magic weapons seemed to have become dead things. He broke out in a cold sweat and pressed the frantically rotating silver plate.
"Stinky Daoist, why don't you accept him?" The prince asked impatiently.
"Demons, monsters......" The Taoist priest's voice trembled, and his eyes scanned around, trying to find the person who had disordered the silver plate.
The silver plate suddenly broke away from his palm and rushed towards the crowd, and when Li Su was only a foot away from the door, Wen Xun's eyes sank slightly, and the silver plate instantly turned around and exploded in the center of the clearing.
The Taoist priest noticed Wen Xun's eyes, and in a trance, he seemed to see a huge snake head rushing into the depths of his soul, he couldn't help but tremble, screamed, and ran towards the back door of the county office: "There are monsters!" There's a big demonβ"
The people scattered as birds and beasts, and kept retreating: "Why did you run away, why did the Taoist priest run away?" Where's the big demon? Ling Nai is a big demon? β
Ling Nai gave Su Jingtang and Wen Xun a grateful look, Su Jingtang looked inexplicable, and Wen Xun raised his eyebrows.
"Big, big demon......" The prince swallowed his saliva and took two steps back, and the attendant also retreated, and was kicked in front by him, "Cowardice!" Protect Prince Ben! β
The county order has already hidden behind the table: "Who, who is the big demon?" β
"Daoist Fang Cai has already said that you are a big demon, do you still want to quibble now?" The prince dragged the back of the attendant, half of his body hid behind the attendant, his tone was still horizontal, and the attendant cried uncontrollably, but there was nothing to be done.
"I'm not a big demon!" Ling Nai shouted confidently.
"The Taoist priests have verified your identity, and everyone has seen the Taoist priest's magic weapon fly out and be damaged, if you are not a monster, who is a monster?"
The people were afraid, and they had different opinionsβ
"Looking at that battle just now, I'm afraid Ling Nai is really a monster, and it's a big demon!"
"But he's usually simple and kind, not like a monster, is there any misunderstanding?"
"Didn't you see that magic weapon just now flew into the sky, doesn't this prove that Ling Nai is a monster?"
Hearing so many people believing in himself, the prince became a little bolder and louder: "I must report this matter to the imperial court and tell them that you Wu County hunt heads and raise demons!" β
The county order said "ouch" one after another, and ran out from behind the table: "Prince Maya, Wu County is close to the border, surrounded by mountains and forests, it is normal for monsters to haunt, maybe there are people in the crowd who are watching the excitement, that big demon may not be talking about Ling Nai, besides, you don't look like a monster at all." β
In the crowd, Su Jingtang nodded: "I think the county order makes sense." β
The aunt at the back echoed: "It's a little reasonable, I haven't seen Ling Nai become a monster, and he still looks like a human." β
"Monsters are monsters, how can you still help monsters talk, Dog Officer!" Some radical people picked up stones and threw them inside, and others who were not too big to do so followed suit, trying to hit them with stones and leaves.
Nan Xiutong ran to the courtyard and faced the vegetable leaves head-on: "You also know Ling Nai's usual behavior, no matter what his identity is, he has never hurt anyone, but someone has been bullying him!" β
Her voice was drowned out by the cacophony, and the aunt in the front row was affected, raising her hands to block the flying stones, shouting for them to stop.
Ling Nai pulled Nan Xiutong, firmly protected her in his arms, and looked at her struggling to explain herself, her eyes were moist and hot: "Anan, don't talk about it......"
The group of people who were heathing in the back saw that they couldn't smash anyone, so they desperately squeezed in: "Kill this monster!" β
Su Jingtang was staggered and stepped on, she lifted her foot in pain, and there was another stone above her head: "Ah pain-"
Wen Xun's eyes changed, he grabbed Su Jingtang with one hand, and waved his sleeves with the other: "Stand back!" All the people who rushed up retreated uncontrollably, and the stones and vegetable leaves at Su Jingtang's feet turned into powder.
"Youkai! Youkai has made a move! Someone screamed, turned and ran out.
The prince saw Wen Xun move his hand with his own eyes, and pointed his finger at him with trembling fingers: "Demon, monster......"
"You, your hearts are punishable!" The prince's fingers swept towards Nan Xiutong and the others, and the other hand held the sobbing attendant, "There are so many monsters!" Come on, kill them all! β
The guards looked at each other and hesitated, but they had to act because of the order, one of them stabbed at Ling Nai, and the others rushed towards Wen Xun.
The scene was very chaotic, the people fled and hid, some were so frightened that they couldn't move their legs and screamed in place, and there were only a few people left around Wen Xun and Su Jingtang.
The guard's sword stopped at a foot distance from Wen Xun, and could no longer push forward for half a minute, the guard paused, took two steps back, and stabbed it fiercely, both legs stepped in place, and the sword was also blocked by an invisible barrier.
Wen Xun raised his eyebrows and watched them charge in place comfortably, Su Jingtang took out a piece of broken dried meat from his sleeve and stuffed it into his mouth, looking at them with wide eyes.
There was an eerie silence inside and outside the county office, and half of the people who had fled froze in place, looking back at this scene, and the screaming people lost their voices, their mouths open, and they did not move.
"You can't afford to hurt her." Wen Xun raised his hand, his wrist flicked, and the guard's body spun in the air, and his body smashed to the ground, wailing in pain. Wen Xun glanced back at the people, who were silent and did not dare to look at them.
"Wen Xun, they are timid, don't scare them." Su Jingtang wiped his fingers with a handkerchief and spoke unhurriedly.
The prince was shocked in his heart: "Miss Su, you also raise monsters, is this the custom of your Wu County?" β
Su Jingtang looked up at Wen Xun: "He said that you were raised by me." β
"In some ways, it's true that you support me, I don't have money, you have money."
She nodded: "Except for money, I only have you as a little brother." β
The aunt, who had been silent for a long time, exclaimed: "Could it be that the big demon that the Taoist priest said is Gongzi Wen?" β
