Chapter 276: Popularity
The room away from Yongxu has become a ruin, and it is uninhabitable no matter what. Therefore, the injured Li Yongxu could only lie in the other people's rooms, seeing that several important disciples were fine, Li Yongxu was relieved, "It's okay if you are all fine, so that I can also give an explanation to your master and my senior brother!"
"Uncle Shi, don't worry about these things, we will take care of it, you just need to take care of your injuries, otherwise we will have no way to explain to the master!" Jue Ran is now the largest among the Taoist disciples, except for the Sixiang Taoist, the rest are all his junior disciples or apprentices, so he has the most say in this situation.
Zhong Liyan also saw the current situation of Wujiguan and asked: "Although it has repelled Bai Ye's attack, but now Wujiguan can be described as vulnerable, I don't know what to do with the seniors?" Although Li Yongxu was lying on the bed, he had already made follow-up preparations and said: "Casualties are definitely inevitable, fortunately, the Nine Palace Bagua Array has not been damaged much, I will now hand over the control method of the Nine Palace Bagua Array to Jueran, and from now on, he will be fully responsible for the defense of Wuji Temple." Secondly, Ye Lan went to count the casualties and redistribute the remaining personnel, and that's all he could do now!"
Zhong Liyan nodded and said, "There is no problem with the arrangement of the seniors, the juniors have been taught!" Li Yongxu reluctantly smiled and said: "Don't pretend about you, you stinky boy, my senior brother will definitely not be able to stay in front of you if these things happen, you know that he is coming back, so I deliberately let us see these people in the white night, don't you just want my senior brother to go to them for revenge, so as to reduce the pressure of the white night on you! Don't think that I can't see anything, you guards in the capital are all virtuous." After being debunked, Zhong Liyan was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you, now it seems that Wujiguan repelled Bai Ye's surprise attack, but because of this, Daoist Hengyu had to retreat from the summoning order, and in the end, Bai Ye achieved his original goal!"
"So you have to let us Taoists share your worries!" Although Li Yongxu's words were full of complaints, the tone of his voice did not mean resentment, in fact, everyone knew that all the sects and factions in the capital and rivers and lakes were under the threat of the white night, and no one could be left alone, which was also the reason why everyone responded positively as soon as the lord summoned the order.
A few days later, the matter of Xuanwu Mountain also fell into dust, and as expected, Daoist Hengyu had already retired from the summoning order and was on his way back to Xuanwu Mountain. And some of the current convocation orders have withdrawn from the convocation order due to the attack of the white night, and the rest of the sects are still holding on, but they don't know how long they can hold out.
After the Taoist affairs were settled, Zhong Liyan and Ren Xiao were also ready to leave.
"Brother Zhongli, where are we going next?" Zhong Liyan thought for a moment and said, "I have to rush back to the capital, Wu Yue Ang is a member of the White Night Dou level, he must know a lot of things, I want to go back and help Tong Qian get more information from him." ”
"What about me?" Ren Xiao asked. Zhong Liyan thought for a while and said: "There is really no important matter for you at the moment, but Li Xiangri has not heard any news from them when they went to Shaolin Temple, if you want to rush over, you must hurry up, otherwise they may have already left! Or you can also go back to the capital with me to rest for a while, after all, you have not been idle during this time!"
Ren Xiao shook his head and declined Zhong Liyan's kindness, and said: "Forget about resting, I've rested enough in Jianya Mountain and Maple Forest, and I can't help you interrogate when I go to the capital, then I'll rush to Shaolin Temple now, and I can just go back to Shanyang Hall to have a look!"
Zhong Liyan was very relieved to see that Ren Xiao was so active, so he said, "It's okay, then you should be more careful along the way!" Ren Xiao smiled: "Well, I know, you also collect more information!"
After the two separated, one went north and the other west.
It is said that after Ren Xiao left Xuanwu Mountain, he galloped all the way to the west, and half a day later, Ren Xiao, who was galloping, suddenly heard someone calling his name behind him, and hurriedly stopped and looked back, only to see a man and a horse galloping towards him.
"Ren Xiao, wait for me!" The person immediately was none other than Nangong Chuyan.
"Why are you here, don't you have to stay in Wuji Temple?" Ren Xiao looked at Nangong Chu Yan on the horse and asked curiously. Nangong turned over and dismounted, and said, "I'm an outsider disciple of Taoism, so I don't have to stay in the Wuji Temple! Besides, even if I stay, I won't be able to help, so you might as well leave and don't say hello to me!"
Ren Xiao smiled apologetically and said, "I don't think you came here to say hello!" Nangong was full of peach blossoms, shook off the burden behind him, and said, "Of course not, I'm here to go with you!"
"What, aren't you at home to help your dad look after the store, what are you running out with me for?" Ren Xiao didn't understand her intentions. Nangong led the horse and walked forward, and said, "Eh, don't keep mentioning my father, my father, it's enough for him to watch his small shop alone, and I'll only cause trouble for him at home, so it's better to come out and wander the rivers and lakes!"
"Then why did you come to follow me! You have also experienced it, and your life is in danger at any time if you follow me, so you should find someone else!" Ren Xiao said with good intentions. Nangong glanced at him disdainfully, and said, "Cut, it's quite dangerous, but you don't want to think about it, if it weren't for me, how many times would you have died!" Ren Xiao smiled embarrassedly and didn't know what to say. Nangong led the horse with one hand and pulled him with the other and said, "Okay, okay, let's go!"
Ren Xiao had no choice but to walk with her all the way. Soon the two entered the territory of the ancient city, first passing through Qingzhugou, Ren Xiao wanted to go to see the green kite, but when he told Nangong about it, the latter stopped Ren Xiao from going to Qingzhumen because of the urgency of the journey. Then the two passed through the small city, the people here saw Ren Xiao as if they saw a long-lost relative, whether it was a blacksmith or a doctor, they all hoped that Ren Xiao could stay a few more days, looking at the gradually improving people's lives, Ren Xiao didn't know how relieved, his efforts were not in vain after all. After staying for half a day, Ren Xiao left the town with the support of the people.
"You are more popular with everyone than I imagined!" Nangong Chu Yan gave Ren Xiao a thumbs up, Ren Xiao scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Everywhere, these people are too enthusiastic! I haven't done much." Nangong continued: "You definitely can't feel it, the last time I came here to look for you, everyone here knew the name of the Xinghuo Cold Knife, and every time they mentioned this name, their eyes lit up, as if they saw hope, there is really you!" Although Ren Xiao said modest words, he didn't mention how happy he was in his heart.
A few days later, the two passed by the ancient city, and Ren Xiao wanted to ask Nangong if he wanted to go in.
But I was afraid that he would refuse, so I didn't ask. As a result, when they passed by the gate of the ancient city, Nangong grabbed the corner of Ren Xiao's clothes and said, "I heard that this is the beginning of everything for you, don't you go in and have a look?" Ren Xiao was a little surprised and said, "I thought you were going to say that it was important to hurry!"
Nangong shook his head and said with a smile: "As long as it is related to you, I want to find out, let's go, let's not stay longer, enter and go in a circle!" Ren Xiao could only listen to her and followed into the ancient city.
Who would have thought that the people of this ancient city were more enthusiastic than the people of a small city, not to mention that Ren Xiao had lived here for a long time, and almost all of them knew Ren Xiao. As soon as she walked into the gate of the ancient city, the proprietress of the cloth shop recognized Ren Xiao, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet the customers in her store: "Eh, this is not Ren Da Catch, you are back, come to the store and I will make you two new clothes!" It's okay, I'll do it, just come to my store and get it when you leave in a while, I'll ask the guy to hurry up and make it for you first, and it can be done in an hour! You see the one you're wearing is old!"
Ren Xiao really had no choice, grabbed Aunt Zhang's hands, and said, "I really don't need to, I'll leave from the West Gate in a while, you can hurry up and get busy with you!" After being rejected, Aunt Zhang was a little disappointed and said, "Then why don't I pack you a few rolls of good fabric, and you can make it yourself?" Ren Xiao hurriedly ran out of the store and said, "No need, I'm good in my clothes!" After speaking, he pulled Nangong and ran. Aunt Zhang looked at Ren Xiao's back and said, "I've finished all the clothes, and I'll stuff them for you directly when you come back next time, see how you refuse!"
Ren Xiao, who had just escaped from the cloth shop, hadn't taken two steps when he was suddenly stopped by a person: "Ren Xiao, you're back, come and come to me, I have freshly grilled saury here, you take two skewers to taste!" As soon as Ren Xiao turned around, he saw that the young boss who sold charcoal-grilled saury had reopened, Ren Xiao stepped forward and asked, "Brother Yu, aren't you quitting?" A few days ago, the world was too chaotic, and there was no way to do business, so I stopped doing it, but now it's much better, I heard that when you came back last time, you helped Ma Catch Fast and they eliminated a group of robbers, and since then the ancient city has been much more peaceful, and now with the governance of Lord Fang and Ma Catch, the ancient city has slowly recovered, and I just reopened two days ago!"
Ren Xiao smiled and said, "That's good, come, get me two strings!" Brother Yu skillfully handed Ren Xiao the fish to him, Ren Xiao took it and gave it to Nangong, and said: "This is the best grilled fish in the world, I invite you, eat it!" Nangong took it in his hand and smelled it, and it was really fragrant. Just when Ren Xiao was about to pay for the fish boss, the fish boss hurriedly stopped: "Ren Xiao, you go quickly! These two fish are regarded as if I invited you to eat, you said that you haven't seen you for so long, and the right should be my meeting gift to you!" "At the beginning, I wanted to ask Ren Xiao where he went the most times in the ancient city, I am afraid that no one dared to compare with this fish boss, even if it was the Dream Building, it was only when Ren Xiao and they had a party, and this charcoal-grilled saury, Ren Xiao would come every day, even if he was very busy, he would let others bring him a copy back. So Boss Yu's kindness, Ren Xiao happily accepted it, smiled and said thank you.
