About half an hour ago......

Yan Liulang felt that he had made a great contribution.

Especially when I saw Ming Fu and Miss Xie walking out side by side from the gate of Donglin Temple.

He and his young catchers glanced at the "red mark" on the wrist of the two of them very tacitly.

In the pavilion outside the gate, the eyes of the group of hunters showed a look of relief.

It was not in vain that they drank the northwest wind at the gate for so long.

It was still Xiaoyan who was thoughtful and didn't take them to follow up.

The group of catchers silently exchanged glances, as if a big stone had finally fallen in their hearts.

Facing the admiring eyes of his subordinates, Yan Liulang, who was holding the knife, couldn't help but puff up his chest, and he was almost a proud cross-waister.

It's no wonder that everyone is making such a fuss.

These days, in the Longcheng County Yali, except for the young county magistrate who is all focused on controlling the water and just wants to make money for disaster relief, everyone has seen that there is something wrong with the new female master.

There have been statistics of interested scribes before, if the Ming Mansion does not go out on weekdays, they will handle official documents in the county office.

So often come to look for him, Master Xie has to ask the county officials at least 30 sentences a day, "where is the senior brother" and "where is the senior brother".

As a result, some gossip rumors spread far and wide, and became the gossip that everyone focused on after dinner.

After all, the bridge section of Lang Cai and Woman, Beauty Chasing, and Lang Jun is dull is very popular wherever it is placed, which is not only eye-catching, but also makes people look forward to blessings.

Therefore, about when the young county magistrate suddenly had a bright head, he could sacrifice his ego to fulfill his big self, and it was his duty to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman to solve the marriage problem of a single little junior sister.

It has also become the yali of Longcheng County, and everyone is tacitly looking forward to it.

At this moment, outside the gate of Donglin Temple.

Facing the Ming Mansion and Miss Xie who were tied with the same red rope and walked towards him, Yan Liulang's face did not change, but he sighed with emotion in his heart.

Hey, fortunately, it was the master who came today, if the Ah Shan brothers were here, maybe they would honestly follow the Ming Mansion in, and insert it between the Ming Mansion and Miss Xie as a red lantern...... He said in his heart.

It's just that after the two groups of people gathered and met, Yan Liulang noticed something strange.

The pace of the Ming Mansion seems to be in a hurry.

It seems to be a little more resolute than usual, drop a word, just say go, and take the lead down the mountain:

"Let's go, go down the mountain to pick up Lord Shen and Lord Wang."

Yan Liulang and the others were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed.

Xie Lingjiang, who changed back into a sassy men's clothes, paused, looked back at the direction of Donglin Temple, and said softly:

"Big brother."

"Huh?" The jade fairy did not reply.

Xie Lingjiang's eyes were no longer as red as before, and after the ups and downs of her mood not long ago, she seemed to have become a lot more silent.

At this time, I can't help but remind:

"You haven't got it back yet."

The jade fairy frowned secretly, the woman who is in love is really troublesome, and she takes big and small things to heart.

She lifted her chin and smiled with a spring breeze on her face:

"When you changed your clothes just now, I told the monks in the temple to pick it up, but it hasn't been delivered yet.

"Little junior sister, it's still important to get down to business, let's go, let's go down the mountain to pick up the two adults first, and the monks in the temple will send the skirt knife back to Luming Street later, little junior sister don't worry, it can't be dropped."

"It's okay......"

Facing Xie Lingjiang's intently gaze, a smile appeared on the face of the Jade Fairy, but in her heart, she was very dissatisfied with the slow knife taking efficiency of Liu Liu, Liu Qi and others.

The jade fairy glanced at the sky silently.

She has a limited amount of time to disguise herself as Ouyang Lianghan every time, and her aura cultivation can't last too long, and if she delays it, she may change.

immediately decided not to stay anymore and left immediately.

In a businesslike tone, the Jade Maiden Fairy gave a few orders to Yan Liulang and the others, turned around and led everyone down the mountain.

Behind, Xie Lingjiang withdrew his gaze from the direction of Donglin Temple, glanced at the red rope on the wrist under the sleeve of the "senior brother", and then looked down at the red rope on her own hand.

The noble lady of the Xie clan pursed her lips, raised her head and strode forward, keeping up with the large army.

Right now, Xie Lingjiang's mind couldn't sense the skirt knife.

So I don't know the approximate location of the skirt knife.

Because not long ago, when I gave the elder brother a skirt knife in the dark alley.

Xie Lingjiang locked the senior brother's unique qi machine, and then used a certain mental trick that was matched by the cultivation technique, silently cutting off most of the traction of the skirt knife on his mind.

The wisp of thought that was warmed in the skirt knife only firmly remembered the unique qi of the senior brother.

Only when he recognized his qi machine, that is, only the skirt knife was in the hands of the senior brother himself, could he bridge with her mind and transmit mysterious feedback through the air.

In addition, anyone other than the senior brother got the skirt knife, and the skirt knife could not bridge Xie Ling Jiang's heart.

Her heart is like a lake, there are no waves, and she can't feel it.

This is done because Xie Lingjiang has a very heavy psychological cleanliness habit, of course, only for someone.

Although the skirt knife had been given to the elder brother, she also believed that the elder brother would wear it properly.

But it is inevitable that he may be contacted by other people close to him in the future, such as the strange silver-haired alien maid.

Can't you have an induction at that time, and mistakenly think that the senior brother is thinking about her, right?

Xie Lingjiang can't afford to lose this person......

Ouyang Rong, who was disguised as a jade fairy, took Xie Lingjiang, Yan Liulang and others all the way down the mountain.

At the foot of Dagu Mountain, after re-boarding the carriage, the group hurried to the Shili Pavilion on the outskirts of the city.

It was very close to the agreed pick-up time.

As we all know, waterways are faster than land routes, which not only saves time but also effort.

The reason why Lord Shen, Lord Wang and other Jiangzhou officials did not come to Dragon City directly by water.

It's because these two adults didn't just take a boat from Jiangzhou to Longcheng.

Attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony in Longcheng County was just the finale of their trip.

There will be two stops on the way, and I will stop for inspection in other disaster-stricken counties on the way, and finally take a horse-drawn carriage to Longcheng County.

In addition, the itinerary of such senior officials is confidential.

For the sake of safety, the official document was sent to Longcheng County, so that Ouyang Rong and the others could only know when it would arrive, and then arrange where to greet them.

Otherwise, follow the most convenient route.

At the beginning, Ouyang Rong would change the location of the pick-up to Songlindu.

That is, the new ferry port that will be the starting point of the Folding Wing Canal.

First of all, it is because Songlindu is very close to Dagu Mountain, so it is convenient to follow the road.

Secondly, Ouyang Rong and his entourage could take a boat directly to the Digong Gate of Yuenu Gorge after receiving the officials in Jiangzhou at Songlindu, which was convenient and fast.

Instead of going to Shili Pavilion on the outskirts of the city to pick up people like now, he went back to Peng Langdu in the city to take a boat.

However, at the moment, this "extra move" will not be delayed for long.

Because of various reasons at the moment, the Folding Wing Canal has not been fully opened.

Even if the group took a boat at Pine Forest Ferry, they still had to take the old meandering river of Butterfly Creek as before.

Bypass the entire Longcheng county once.

Not much time saved.

Unless the new canal is fully opened.

The Folding Wing Canal starts from the Yedu Wharf in Shaojia Village in the south and reaches Songlindu in the north.

The river is straight all the way.

There is no need to go around the county seat of Longcheng.

This is called real time and effort saving.

It's a pity that after the completion of the first phase of the Folding Wing Canal, it was suddenly stopped by the young county order, and there has been no movement until now......

The Jade Maiden didn't think so much, she disguised herself as Ouyang Lianghan and hurried all the way.

During the whole process, I tried to talk to Xie Lingjiang, Yan Liulang and others as little as possible to prevent revealing the stuffing.

Finally, the group came to the Shili Pavilion on the outskirts of the city, and after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, they looked around and saw a group of carriages on the official road in the distance slowly approaching.

The meeting between the two groups of people is not too special.

It is a polite greeting between ordinary superior and subordinate officials.

The supervising envoy Shen Xisheng Shen is still dressed in a crimson official uniform, and he is dressed in a simple and simple manner.

And the new Jiangzhou Thorn King Leng Ran is about the same age as Shen Xisheng, about forty or fifty years old, and he is also a crimson official uniform of similar grade.

He has a beautiful beard, but he likes to glance at people with his eyes, and his demeanor is quite cold and arrogant, and he seems to have few words.

Maybe there were outsiders present, but everyone didn't talk much, and just boarded the carriage and left.

A young county commander smiled and said politely: "Lord Shen, Lord Wang, please get in the car!" ”

"Lord Wang, please first." Shen Xisheng turned his head.

Wang Lengran nodded and took the lead in entering the carriage.

Shen Xisheng followed, and before getting into the car, he glanced at the famous Longcheng County Commander with great interest, but he didn't say much immediately.

However, the rather unexpected episode was that the young county magistrate did not go to ride in the same carriage with Xie Lingjiang and Yan Liulang.

Instead, he boarded the carriage of Lord Shen and Lord Wang.

In the rear, Xie Lingjiang and Yan Liulang couldn't help but glance at each other.

The former was silent.

The latter, that is, Yan Liulang, found that after receiving the guests, a certain young prefectural magistrate seemed to have a colder attitude towards them.

It seems to have entered a state of business, and when he thinks about it like this, Yan Liulang doesn't think it's so strange.

After all, various times in the past have proved that the decisions of the Ming Mansion may seem a little outrageous before they are implemented, but the final effect is obvious to all.

However, what happened soon made Yan Liulang puzzled again.

The group rushed to Penglangdu Wharf.

A boat that had been prepared for a long time, docked in a conspicuous position on the shore.

In the past, Yan Liulang, who had long been accustomed to coming here to take a boat to Penglangdu, commanded and dispatched on the shore.

He was just about to turn around and follow behind the two Jiangzhou Shangguan and the Ming Mansion, and take the brothers on the boat together.

As a result, he was immediately stopped by two scribes who walked down from the boat.

"Xiao Yan catches his head, please stay." The scribe said politely.

"What are you doing, what's the matter?" Yan Liulang asked curiously.

"Lord Mingfu instructed you and the people who caught the squad to stay in the county, do your job well, guard the county office, and you don't have to go to Di Gongzha today." So the scribe explained.

Yan Liulang's face was stunned at first, and then he sighed, "This is what Mingfu said?" ”

The scribe nodded.

Yan Liulang wanted to speak, but his gaze immediately met the frowning gaze of a young county magistrate at the bow of the boat.

The latter was chatting with the two Shangguan at the bow of the boat at the moment, and his eyes glanced sideways from time to time, paying attention to the direction of Yan Liulang and the others under the boat.

"Good...... All right. ”

Yan Liulang, who was accustomed to obeying the Ming Mansion, had no choice but to nod honestly and said helplessly to the scribe:

"The arrangement of the Ming Mansion will naturally not be wrong...... Then let Miss Xie follow. ”

The blue-clothed catcher was actually puzzled, didn't the Ming Mansion arrange a big move at the Di Gong Gate today, why didn't he bring people over, is it enough just for the Ahsan brothers to be there?

The scribe who commanded the order heard the muttering words behind him, shook his head slightly, and said nothing.

It's just that under Yan Liulang's confused gaze, the scribe turned around and walked straight to Xie Lingjiang, who was also about to board the ship not far away.

The latter was also stunned and paused.

"Miss Xie, please stay."

The scribe also conveyed an order from the young county magistrate, so that the female master could guard the county seat.

Seeing that Xie Lingjiang and Yan Liulang were stunned for a while, there was no objection, and the two scribes rushed back to resume their lives.

Less.

Peng Lang Watanabe, a big ship slowly moved and sailed in the direction of the Yue Nu Gorge.

On the shore, only the frowning Xie Lingjiang and Yan Liulang remained.

The two turned their heads to look at each other.

There was a moment of silence in the air.

Yan Liulang smiled bitterly and walked over.

Xie Lingjiang suddenly turned his head to look east.

Yan Liulang's face was curious, and he followed her gaze with a contemplation on his face.

It is in the direction of Dagu Mountain on the outskirts of the city.

……

After a stick of incense.

Butterfly Creek.

At the bow of a large ship, there was a young county magistrate standing with his back hand blowing the wind, raising his hand from time to time to support his chin.

The Jade Maiden squinted slightly, feeling extremely relaxed.

Although she was wearing a heavy mirage mask on her face, and wearing it, she always subconsciously gave her the illusion that the mask was about to fall off.

Let her get used to helping her often.

But just being able to get rid of the two hidden dangers that are most likely to see through her in one fell swoop, this kind of smooth sailing still makes the Jade Fairy feel good.

The infatuated Xie girl and the head catcher surnamed Yan really listened to Ouyang Lianghan's words, and they were sent away so easily, and she didn't use the wording she had prepared

It's a pity that the real Ouyang Lianghan is dead, and it is estimated that Liu Liu and Liu Qi have already packed up their bodies, and the murderous swordsman named Ah Jie has already left with his sword now.

For the time being, the Jade Fairy who is Ouyang Lianghan doesn't know whether to laugh or sigh.

But now, she was nervous and cautious all the way, and finally dealt with Xie Lingjiang and others, who were most familiar with Ouyang Lianghan, and the risk of hurting the ribbon cutting ceremony was immediately reduced by more than half.

Now by the side of the Jade Maiden, only Shen, Wang and others who are not familiar with the original people are not afraid of saying too much and will be easy to expose.

"What is Liang Han thinking?" Just then, a voice came from behind her.

The jade fairy looked back, it was Shen Xisheng who was faintly familiar with her for some reason.

"I'm thinking about the ribbon-cutting ceremony later, Lord Shen, I have already arranged it for you properly, please wait and see later."

"Oh? That official is looking forward to it even more, and he has to take a good look at Lianghan's arrangements and preparations. Shen Xisheng seemed to have thought of something, and his tone was meaningful.

The Jade Maiden smiled and nodded, and then glanced at Lord Shen, who was almost a dead person in her eyes, and immediately, she found an excuse to retreat.

The Jade Maiden turned away from the bow of the ship, ready to return to the cabin to rest for a while, but halfway through the road, she heard a "bang" from the stern of the boat.

Her face changed suddenly: "Thank you...... Forehead little sister, ...... Why did you come along? ”

I saw that in front of me, a figure dressed in red jumped lightly on the stern of the boat, and it was Xie Lingjiang with a calm expression.

And behind the big ship at the feet, there is a smaller orchid boat that is docking.

Xie Lingjiang said directly: "Senior brother, I still think that I have to accompany you over." ”

The jade fairy secretly had her eyelids jumping wildly, but her face was serious, revealing a slightly unhappy look after being disobeyed:

"No, senior brother, didn't I send someone to tell you just now, how can I make an assertion, little junior sister, don't listen to senior brother?"

Xie Lingjiang stared at the person in front of him and said seriously: "Of course I am obedient, but the senior brother promised me in the carriage that day, the dragon city is not peaceful these days, the Liu family may jump over the wall in a hurry, the senior brother will let the senior sister always follow him, is the senior brother ...... Forgot? ”

And what's going on? Really? The Jade Fairy frowned secretly, her face was silent, and she didn't speak for a while.

"Senior brother is so decent, why don't you let me come?" Xie Lingjiang asked.

The Jade Maiden Fairy smiled and said: "I'm worried about my little junior sister, I hurt you by doing something wrong not long ago, and seeing that your face is haggard and you don't talk much on the way back, I want you to stay in the county and rest for a while." ”

Xie Lingjiang didn't reply immediately, her eyes fell on the extremely familiar face of the senior brother in front of her, and after a while, she suddenly smiled:

"Senior brother is so kind to me...... It's never been so good, but you and I have already put on the red rope, and the junior sister has to follow the senior brother, I... I am very worried about the safety of my senior brother...... That's it! ”

After the words fell, Xie Ling Jiang Shan stepped forward and followed closely behind her.

"......" The jade fairy smiled stiffly.
