Section 24 The Night Black Star Dotted with Fireflies (2)
As the night deepened, the moonlight cast dappled shadows through the branches. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Ling'er and Jade Xiao Gongzi walked on the path in the forest one after the other.
Suddenly, a group of martial arts people blocked their way, including the woman Yang Liuyun, who had been hostile to Ling'er in the market earlier.
The young man at the head shouted, "Devil, why are you hiding here?
Ling'er was taken aback, and intuitively felt that these people were coming at him, and there must be some misunderstanding in this. Just as she was about to open her mouth to communicate with them, the jade flute boy grabbed Ling'er's slender waist without a trace and protected her by his side.
Ling'er hurriedly looked up at the jade flute boy, and saw that he had a confident look looking at the world, which was reassuring.
The Jade Xiao Gongzi recognized them as a few arrogant young disciples in the Taiyue Sect, and he didn't take them seriously at first, but he didn't want to kill them in front of Ling'er, let alone let them reveal their identity as the Demon Sect Princes early. The identity issue, he will explain it to Ling'er in person when the time is ripe. So, the jade flute boy tightened his arms, hugged Ling'er, jumped up, and rushed towards the town.
Ling'er only felt a tightness in her waist, her body suddenly left the ground, and there was a whirring wind in her ears, and she fell into the town gate. She was about to ask the Jade Xiao Gongzi about it, when she heard the Jade Xiao Gongzi say: "Those are the disciples of the Taiyue faction, and they have had a holiday with Zaixia, and if they don't settle the accounts with them today, I'm afraid they won't give up." The girl waited here for a moment, and then she would meet them later. ”
"Brother Xu, there are a lot of them, you must be careful. Ling'er was afraid that his poor skills would drag him down, so he waited for him here as he said, but did not forget to remind him to deal with it carefully, "If you are not defeated, don't fight hard......"
"Understood. "The Jade Xiao Gongzi was afraid that Taiyue would send those disciples to chase after him, so he hurriedly interrupted Ling'er. Seeing that Ling'er cared so much about his safety, his heart was full of emotion. Before Ling'er could respond, he flew away. Leaving Ling'er at the town gate, he was very relieved. There are officers and soldiers around, and those who claim to be decent and decent people don't dare to do anything here.

When the Jade Xiao Gongzi returned to the forest, he saw those disciples of the Taiyue Sect arguing from a distance. Yang Liuyun blamed several senior brothers for being timid and fearful and not pursuing the enemy. Others said that the jade flute boy was extremely cunning, and he was afraid that he had set some trap to lure them forward by fleeing without a fight.
The jade flute boy sneered in his heart: "To deal with a few of you, do you still need to set traps? ”
"Devil, do you dare to come back?" The man at the head was the first to notice that the jade flute boy was going and returned, and shouted with full vigilance.
"Why don't you hum without the Flame Knight?" said another man, mockingly.
It is no wonder that these arrogant young disciples of the Taiyue Sect underestimate the enemy, and the Jade Xiao Gongzi rarely makes a move on the rivers and lakes, and there are not many people who are really worthy of his own hands. So much so that these disciples of the Taiyue Sect, who were still inexperienced in the rivers and lakes, often heard about how great the flame knights under the Jade Xiao Gongzi were, and then they thought that the young Jade Xiao Gongzi was just a general person.
The Jade Flute Boy looked at them with disdain, as if he were looking at a group of dead people. Dealing with such mediocre martial arts, the jade flute prince has always been disdainful of hands, but there are no subordinates around him at this time, and he doesn't want to let go of anyone who is rude to Ling'er.
In the face of the disdainful eyes of the Jade Xiao Gongzi, how could these arrogant Taiyue Sect disciples stand it? They all rose up, drew their swords and attacked the Jade Xiao Gongzi together.
"Is this the 'relying on the more and bullying the widow' that you decently despise?"
In a moment, the jade flute boy changed his mind again, and he didn't plan to directly end their lives in a few moves. He thought of a better way to torture them, and then died slowly!
---
Although she knew that Brother Xu's skills were extraordinary, Ling'er couldn't help but be a little worried. She waited and waited, keenly aware that someone was staring at her in the dark. Ling'er looked around vigilantly, it was close to the night curfew at this time, and the streets were empty, except for a few officers and soldiers guarding the town gate, there was no one else.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed around the corner. Ling'er could be sure that the two gazes that Shi Cai was staring at him secretly shot from that direction.
Ling'er only hesitated slightly, and then followed, driven by curiosity. First, she thought that Brother Xu had just left, and it was estimated that she would not come back to find herself so soon, and she would have time to meet him if she went to find out by herself and then came back;
When the jade flute boy rushed back, he saw such a situation, Ling'er was rushing towards the street corner with light skills. Without thinking, the jade flute boy stepped forward to chase Ling'er.
Ling'er chased to the corner of the street, but there was no figure anywhere? As she looked left and right in the shadows, a short black shadow suddenly crashed into her. She quickly turned to one side, avoiding the charge. The shadow brushed shoulders with her, and then quickly rushed into a fork in the road.
Ling'er sighed in her heart, "It's so dangerous!" but then found that the small purse on her body had disappeared. She immediately understood the purpose of the man in black hitting her, and shouted loudly in a hurry: "Stop, that's my purse!" Just as she was about to step forward to chase, her arm was grabbed by someone, and the person who came was the jade flute boy.
"The girl is here, and I'll leave this matter to you. Jade Xiao Gongzi said, his voice as warm as the sun actually made Ling'er's anxious heart slowly calm down. Seeing Ling'er nodding, the jade flute boy chased towards the fork in the road. He had excellent eyesight, so naturally he didn't miss the scene of the collision. Shi Cai has cleaned up the disciples of the Taiyue Sect and his good mood has been completely ruined. "Little thief, it's best not to get caught, otherwise you will regret it! If you dare to make a mistake under the nose of this child, that is to find death!"
With the skills of the jade flute boy, how could that thief escape?
The jade flute boy only chased a few steps before he caught the thief. He was the short, thin man who had stared at Ling'er's white hosta in the bazaar.
The jade flute boy naturally would not spare the thief, he clasped the thief's right shoulder with his left hand, and unloaded the opponent's right arm with a little force.
"Ah!" the thief cried out in pain.
Turning a deaf ear to the thief's cries, the jade flute boy took back Ling'er's purse and put it in his arms, and then urged Sancheng to use his internal force, and beckoned to the thief with a move of 'Soul Shadow Palm'.
"Ahh
The jade flute boy smiled coldly, threw him to the ground, and clapped his hands.
At this time, Ling'er, who was waiting in place and becoming more and more anxious, heard the movement and rushed over.
The jade flute boy took out his purse from his arms and handed it to Ling'er, saying, "Look, are the things still there?"
Ling'er took the purse and breathed a sigh of relief, there were a lot of things in it that could not be lost. She hurriedly pulled out the contents of her purse and examined them carefully.
The night was dark, but both of them had excellent eyesight, and it was easy to check.
In Ling'er's purse, except for the white hosta left to her by her mother, there were either silver needles or pills and powder. Watching Ling'er count the pills and medicinal powders in her purse, the jade flute boy couldn't help but wonder. He naturally didn't know that these pills and powders were special medicines carefully developed by Ling'er, and they couldn't be bought in the pharmacy.
Suddenly, the jade flute boy was attracted by a special silver needle in Ling'er's silver needle wallet, he took it and took a look, this silver needle was extremely exquisitely made, and one end of the silver needle was engraved with Ling'er's name.
"This silver needle is very special, it was a gift from a good friend. Ling'er said proudly.
Looking at Ling'er's cherished expression, the jade flute boy thought of his intention to secretly buy the plum blossom hosta, and raised a smile that was enough to fascinate all beings.
"Oops......!" the thief lay on the ground, groaning in pain.
The jade flute boy knew that it was his poison attack, and the corners of his mouth hooked coldly.
Ling'er followed the prestige and saw the thief's distorted and blue face due to pain, and couldn't help but feel compassion, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with him?"
The jade flute boy stopped Ling'er, who was about to come forward to look at his injury, and said, "It's just that one of his arms has been abolished, it's not a big deal." ”
Ling'er was still not at ease, and said: "His face is blue, either poisoned or injured. ”
The jade flute boy was dissatisfied with her overly overflowing sympathy, and said lightly: "This thief deserves it, why should the girl be sad for him?"
Sensing the displeasure of the Jade Flute Prince, Ling'er no longer insisted on showing the thief's injuries, but she also did not approve of the Jade Flute Prince's casual injury, saying: "Even if he made a mistake in the past, it is not appropriate to hurt him at will." Presumably, he also had a last resort when he came out to steal. ”
"Bitter?" "Knowing that she is kind-hearted, Jade Xiao Gongzi will excuse others, but why doesn't she give herself a chance to defend herself as a member of the Demon Sect and classify herself as a bad person?" Thinking so, Jade Xiao Gongzi felt bitter in his heart and sighed secretly.
"The thief should be handed over to the government, and the government will let him get the punishment he deserves. Ling'er didn't pay attention to the expression of the jade flute boy, and said to herself.
"Is this what the girl knows about the government?" the jade princess raised his eyes to look at her and asked lightly, "The government is so trustworthy in the eyes of the girl?"
Ling'er didn't quite understand what Jade Xiao Gongzi meant.
At this moment, the officers and soldiers guarding the town gate also rushed to hear the sound, and they asked the reason, and then took the thief back to the county government office.
Ling'er felt that this was very appropriate, but the jade flute boy did not think so.
"If the girl is interested, let's go to the county government to have a look. Maybe the girl will have a new understanding of the government. Jade Xiao Gongzi said. He suddenly had an idea: "Maybe it would be good for Miss Ling'er to see some of the darkness behind it." She has been protected too well since she was a child, and it is inevitable that she will suffer a big loss when she walks the rivers and lakes. ”
"Oh?" Although Ling'er was puzzled, she didn't refuse the jade flute boy and followed him.
---
"This is the back door of the county office?" Ling'er asked curiously.
The jade flute boy smiled mysteriously and said, "Let's wait here for a while, and we will have a good show to watch." ”
Ling'er said disapprerovingly: "It's so late, what can be the good show?" As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the back door of the county government be opened with a "creak".
The jade flute boy pulled Ling'er over and hid in the shadows.
The person who walked out of the back door of the county government was not the short and thin thief, who was it? I saw that his face was blue, his right hand was hanging down to his side, his left hand was covering his chest, and he nodded to the officer and soldier who sent him out and said, "Trouble the official." ”
And the officer and soldier also smiled and said: "Wei San, be careful next time, we can save you once, and we can't guarantee that we can save you a second time." ”
"Yes, yes. The thief staggered away from the county office.
In the darkness, Ling'er watched this scene in amazement.
The jade flute boy smiled and said, "After the show is over, let's go back to the inn!"
Ling'er followed him with her head down, silent.
"Are you alright?" Seeing Ling'er's depressed appearance, Jade Xiao Gongzi was a little distressed.
"Why did you let him go? Is there still a royal law here?" Ling'er said in a low voice with a frown.
The jade flute boy said: "Money can make ghosts grind." ”
"If you let him go like this, I don't know how many people will suffer in the future!" Ling'er said the worry in her heart.
"Heaven is circulating, God will not let him go. The jade flute boy said this, but he thought proudly in his heart: "If he hits this son's 'soul shadow palm', even if God wants to let him go, he will not escape death." ”
Ling'er shook her head helplessly, maybe there were many things that were not as simple as she thought.

Early the next morning, Ling'er and Jade Xiao left Dai County. Half a day later, they arrived at Mount Wutai.
Disciples of the Wutai sect can be seen everywhere at the foot of Wutai Mountain.
The jade flute boy was worried that people would find out his identity, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Ling'er at the foot of the mountain.
"The girl came to Wutai Mountain to go to Luoyang with the disciples of the Wutai faction?"
Brother Xu also knew that Ling'er didn't know the way. Ling'er said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Xu, for sending me all the way." ”
"You're welcome, just on the way. With the girl by her side all the way, this journey is not boring. The jade flute boy smiled and said his true words, "I will also go to Luoyang in the next period of time, let's meet in Luoyang again!" After speaking, he said goodbye.
"Brother Xu, there will be a period later!" Ling'er arched her hand, turned around and walked away.
Looking at Ling'er's light steps when she left, the mood of the jade flute prince was not relaxed. If it weren't for the fact that he still had important things to do, how good would it be if he could accompany the beautiful woman to the south?
In this way, they parted ways, Ling'er went up to Wutai Mountain, and Yuxiao Gongzi went to do his business.
