Chapter 10: The Horns of the Head (Part II)
The red-eyed man's voice was thick and majestic, and it immediately overwhelmed all kinds of noisy sounds on the street.
Hearing this, Lu Ao gently broke free from his mother, who was pulling his sleeve, walked out of the crowd, and saluted to the red-eyed man's gaze.
He looked quite calm, except for his lips, there was not much blood, and there was no fear on his face, but a faint expectation.
The red-eyed man raised his palm, which was as wide as a fan, pointed at Lu Ao's head, and said again: "Verify the correct body!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the force coming from behind Qi Jingzhi immediately increased a little more.
In front of everyone's eyes, I saw Lu Ao take a deep breath, raise his hand and slowly take off the soft hat on his head.
There was an immediate exclamation in all directions.
Qi Jingzhi could see clearly that at the top of the forehead of this classmate, there were two jade-colored curved horns.
Maybe it's because the pair of jade horns are too delicate and small, but the Lu family Erlang in front of him doesn't have the hideous ferocity of the legendary demon at all, but looks more and more handsome.
The red-eyed man stared at the jade horn on Lu Ao's head for a long time, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
He tried his best to keep his voice low, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "If it is the blood of the Yan Emperor, the Holy Jiang Yanzong, or the extremely rare Shennong Clan's Jade Horn lineage, if nothing else, you can go straight to the Demon Suppression Courtyard Chi Yousi." ”
Without waiting for Lu Jiaerlang to respond, the red-eyed man looked at the people in the store behind him again, and raised his voice: "This official is Dong Mao, the Jinyun envoy of the Wuyun Patrol Department of the Demon Courtyard of Daqi Town, and this business trip will pass through this county, and he will return soon." In the future, if the Lu family has something to do, they can come to the capital to find me. ”
After that, Dong Mao didn't look at the reaction of the crowd, took the horse next to him and turned over, stretched out his hand towards Lu Aoyi, and said, "Come up!" ”
"Yes! Please wait a moment. ”
Lu Ao responded, put on his soft hat again, carefully tidied up his clothes, turned around and knelt down facing the store, and kowtowed respectfully to his parents.
When he raised his head, the young man's eyes were already red, and he choked up and said: "My son is not filial, and he can no longer serve in front of the hall. ”
The old shopkeeper Lu nodded tearfully and encouraged his son: "Don't be a little child, and your eldest brother will take care of it at home." My son is here, he should be loyal to the country, serve the king, he will be successful in his deeds, return to his hometown in fine clothes, and it will not be too late to come to your mother's knees to fulfill his filial piety! ”
Hearing the father and son's answer, many accompanying guests, including the county order, couldn't help but nod their heads again and again.
Only Lu Ao's mother couldn't help crying bitterly and wanted to rush out, but was stopped by the old shopkeeper Lu and the Lu family.
At this time, needless to say, those escorts with status, and most of the onlookers on the street understood that this Lu Jiaerlang was not only not a demon, but had a great adventure.
The arrogant Dong Mao in front of him is not the so-called master sent by the county to hunt demons, but a big man who came out of the capital on business.
Although I don't know what kind of yamen the Wuyun Inspection Department of the Demon Suppression Academy is, and what kind of official the Jinyun envoy is, but just looking at the attitude of the county lord and others, Lu Jiaerlang's departure must be soaring and soaring.
The entire Lu family followed the rising tide and jumped to the upstart of the county, which is also certain.
Under the gaze of countless envious and even jealous eyes, Lu Ao stood up and walked down the steps, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was carried on the back of the horse by Dong Mao.
The roar of a dragon resounded through the long street, and it immediately caused chaos.
The onlookers pushed me and quickly made way for a way out.
Surprisingly, Dong Mao did not rush to leave, but instead pulled the reins suddenly, allowing the unusually tall red-maned white horse to turn around in two circles.
Immediately after, the Jinyun Envoy on horseback turned his head suddenly, and his terrifying red eyes looked straight at Qi Jingzhi, who was standing not far away.
A burning gaze like substance swept the boy back and forth twice, and finally fixed on the cuff of his left arm.
Qi Jingzhi pursed his lips, feeling both happy and nervous.
Fortunately, the other party looked at the cuffs, and apparently did not find the spirit mask. After all, Lu Yunzi has a criminal record, although the mask has become his own appearance, the residual thoughts in it can't be hidden, and at the same time, this thing is still some kind of spiritual material, it must be worth a lot of money, and it is difficult to guarantee that Dong Mao will not see the intention of getting rich.
What is nervous is that the ox ear sharp knife first kills people and then kills evil, and has already given birth to a bit of indescribable spirituality, and now it seems that Dong Mao has discovered the clues, which is also unpredictable.
But he didn't dare to stay at home with these two things, in case he hurt Grandpa, it would be too late to die and regret.
"Kind of interesting!"
Dong Mao's voice rang out, a little more cruel and banter than before: "I just heard that there was a tiger spirit on Nangang, and I saw you when I turned my head." This Songling County is just a big place, and there are a lot of messy things. ”
The red-maned white horse under his crotch suddenly snorted, and slowly paced towards Qi Jingzhi.
Dong Mao, who was sitting on horseback, stared at the young man tightly, and the red flame in his eyes seemed to be a little more vigorous.
He flicked the hem of his cloak back, revealing a brass handle knife hanging from his waist.
The crowd in front of the white horse instantly scattered.
Qi Jingzhi stood alone in place, bearing the brunt of the attack and avoiding it!
He took a deep breath and looked up at Dong Mao, revealing an innocent smile.
"Why did Lord Dong say this? The Wuyun Inspection Division is the official office of the Great Qi, and the Jinyun Envoy is the official of the imperial court, and he must be the most important law and rules, and he will never be punished without teaching. The boy is ignorant, and he really doesn't know what crime he has committed, so that he provokes the anger of adults, and almost wants to draw a sword against a fifteen-year-old young man? ”
"Huh? I don't know how to do it, but I'm very articulate. ”
Dong Mao grabbed the reins, looked at the young man condescendingly, and a sneer came out from under the mask: "You have a sharp blade hidden in your sleeve and a bloody fist inside, either you just killed someone, or you have practiced the evil sect technique of sacrificing the knife with blood, and you actually have the face to talk to this official about what court laws are here?" ”
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi's heart completely relaxed, and he secretly said: "After all, I have limited knowledge, and I actually overestimated this person." This Dong Mao and Lu Yunzi thought it was a blood sacrifice method of Lao Shizi, but unfortunately I really didn't. ”
The smile on Qi Jingzhi's face became brighter and brighter, and he calmly showed the bamboo cage in his hand to the other party, and said seriously word by word: "My lord, I am a hunter, and I carry a skinning knife with me, and it is not surprising that I was accidentally contaminated with a little blood. ”
Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him would say such a sentence, Dong Mao was immediately stunned, and his momentum weakened a little.
Seeing this scene, the people on the street who were originally silent couldn't help but whisper, buzzing like thousands of bees flapping their wings.
Lu Ao, who was sitting behind Dong Mao, suddenly spoke: "My lord, his name is Qi Jingzhi, he used to be my classmate, and his family is indeed Orion." ”
Before Dong Mao could react, another person came out of the crowd, walked to the horse of this Jinyun envoy, and arched his hand: "Lord Dong, this child is a student of Meng, and he is definitely not a traitor. ”
When Dong Mao saw the visitor, he rarely returned the salute with his fists, and said angrily: "If it was in the past, if this official met such a person, he would definitely take it back to the yamen for careful examination. Today, since Master Meng is the guarantor, the official will give him a face and go around him! It's not too early, farewell! ”
As he spoke, he lifted the hem of his coat, covered the dagger at his waist, and then turned his horse's head and galloped in the direction of the city gate.
Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi put down the bamboo cage and bowed to Lu Ao.
Lu Ao twisted around on horseback and returned the salute from afar.
After a hurried glance, the two teenagers looked at each other and smiled, and said goodbye.
