Chapter 20 Encounter
"You can ask the people of the Six Arts Palace to find Ming Shuhui, they have a lot of eyes and ears, and they can find it quickly. Li Xingxing felt bad, so he persuaded Xie Yanran.
"Ming Shuhui left me because of my identity in the Six Arts Palace, so I must find it myself this time and let him know that I, Xie Yanran, don't care about the name of the little palace master of the Six Arts Palace, I just want to find him and ...... with him" Xie Yanran had made up her mind, and her tone was resolute, but when she said it, she realized that she was talking to Li Kai, and she felt embarrassed, her face was flushed with shame, and her voice gradually became weaker, so weak that only she could hear it.
"What do you mean...... Sneak out and don't tell the people of the Six Arts Palace?" Li Kai said in surprise.
Xie Yanran nodded.
Li Kai saw that Xie Yanran had a resolute attitude and it was impossible to turn around, so he couldn't help but feel worried, a weak woman who didn't know martial arts wanted to go to the rivers and lakes alone, and she had to find Ming Shuhui like looking for a needle in a haystack, which was too dangerous.
"Since that......'s the case," Li Kai thought for a long time, and then said, "You and Ming Shuhui are both my lifesavers, especially you, who also told me my true identity." You go find it yourself, I really can't rest assured, so let me go with you. ”
Xie Yanran was very happy when she saw that Li Kai was going to accompany her, she was a little worried and afraid of the unknown dangers in the rivers and lakes, if Li Kai could go with her, her heart would indeed be much more steady.
"Then we have to sneak away, don't let Mrs. Jin and them find out, especially that Zhou Lang, he has done a good job, let him know, he will definitely be able to catch up with us." Xie Yanran mentioned running away, swept away the previous melancholy, and her eyes became excited.
Li Kai nodded, and the two of them planned to escape.
Li Kai returned to his room, and Mrs. Jin did not leave, but had been waiting anxiously for him in the room.
"How is it?" asked Mrs. Jin eagerly, "Is the little palace master better?"
"It's better, I don't cry anymore, but I'm still very haggard, and ......," Li Kai said hesitantly.
"And what?" asked Mrs. Kim anxiously.
And she seems to be going to find Ming Shuhui. Li Kai replied.
"It's easy. Mrs. Jin said confidently, "We have so many people in the Six Arts Palace, it shouldn't be difficult to find one." ”
"That's true...... Li Kai looked at Mrs. Jin and said, "But the little palace master is afraid that he will have to go out and find ...... by himself."
"Then what's going on!" Mrs. Jin immediately slapped the table and said, "She's a girl, go out by herself, what if something happens!"
"I persuaded her just now, but ......" Li Kai was talking, and suddenly there was a commotion outside.
"What's the matter?" asked Madame King with a loud shout.
"Madam, the little palace master, she's gone!" replied the man outside.
Mrs. Jin was shocked, and as soon as she mentioned that Xiao Gong was running away, she disappeared. Mrs. Jin immediately ordered her subordinates to look around, and then found Zhou Lang and Shen Li, and the three of them chased after each other.
Li Kai saw that everyone went out to find someone, and no one was guarding the house, so he returned to Xie Yanran's house. He tapped lightly on the lattice of the cabinet containing clothes on the top of the room, the lattice door opened, and Xie Yanran poked his head out.
"All gone?" Xie Yanran asked cautiously.
"It's all gone!" Li Kai replied softly, "Let's go too!"
Xie Yanran had already packed her belongings, put on her backpack, and the two of them ran out of the jurisdiction of the Six Arts Palace.
The two of them observed while running, Xie Yanran was familiar with the search method of the Six Arts Palace, but whenever they found their search movements, the two of them carefully hid, and walked like this for a day, successfully avoiding tracking.
In the evening, the two found a place to stay.
"This person has a vast sea, how can he find Ming Shuhui?" asked Li Kai.
Xie Yanran shook her head, quite embarrassed, this is also the question she has been thinking about, where will Ming Shuhui go?
"No clue is equivalent to a clue everywhere, all places are possible, even the end of the world, I have to look for it, I believe that if there is fate, I will definitely find him!" Xie Yanran felt helpless, so she could only comfort herself and said, "Do you have any places you want to go, I just go with you, let's look for it while we go." ”
Li Kai thought about it, Dongwu Altar could not go again, so he thought of Luo Bin's request.
"Let's go south, I'm going to Fairy Mountain, the southernmost part of Province Y. Li Kai replied, "Maybe Ming Shuhui will also go south, let's explore all the way, maybe you have a fate, and you really find it." ”
Xie Yanran nodded in agreement, the purpose of the two had been determined, so they rested early and prepared to leave the next day.
Early the next morning, the two headed straight south for departure. The two of them were cautious along the way, firstly, because they did not know martial arts, and they were afraid of causing trouble, and secondly, they had to always pay attention to the search for them by the Six Arts Palace.
Li Kai takes good care of Xie Yanran, although the lonely man and widow are together, but there is no idea of crossing the line between the two, especially Li Kai, although he regards Xie Yanran and Ming Shuhui as friends on the surface, but in fact, he always thinks that they are his life-saving benefactors, if it weren't for them, he would have died in the hands of Guan Qinhai, coupled with Xie Yanran's identity as the little palace master, so he has always maintained a respectful attitude towards Xie Yanran.
On the way, Li Kai also tried to ask Xie Yanran and tell her who his identity was, Xie Yanran just smiled faintly and asked him to wait for the opportunity, and he would naturally know. Although Li Kai was puzzled, it was inconvenient to ask, so he had to give up.
One day, the two came to the territory of S Province, S Province is located in the southeast, not far from Y Province, where the people are simple, the local people are hospitable, and the scenery is also very pleasant.
"Since we have arrived in S Province, it is better to go to a place first, which is not far from here. Xie Yanran said.
"Where are you going? Do you know the exact location?" asked Li Kai.
"Let's go to the Yuanheng Gang of the Xiwu Altar, you have been in the Xiwu Altar for a while, you should have heard of it somewhat, right?" Xie Yanran asked.
"I've heard of it, but ......" Li Kai scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "But I've only heard the name, and the specific situation may not be as ...... as you know."
"I know it's actually limited......" Xie Yanran smiled, this smile matched her name very well, in the past few days, Xie Yanran rarely showed a smile, and Li Kai couldn't help but be stupid at this time.
"As far as I know, Yuanhengbang is a factory, in the west of the city, but because it is mainly engaged in food processing, the location is on the outskirts of the city, relatively remote, but we can still find it by bus. Xie Yanran continued.
"Why do you know so much? I really admire you!" Li Kai said sincerely.
"I am the little palace master of the 'Rite Palace' in the Six Arts Palace, the 'Rite Palace' is the eyes and ears of the Six Arts Palace, responsible for listening to all kinds of major events and small affairs in the world, as a small palace master, I naturally have to understand these situations, of course, compared with my father, my ability is not worth mentioning at all. Xie Yanran smiled and talked about the Six Arts Palace, and Li Kai was even more curious about the Six Arts Palace when he heard it.
Li Kai agreed with Xie Yanran's suggestion, and the two decided to go to the Yuanheng Gang together, so they took the bus and set off.
The bus went all the way out of the way, the road got more and more deviant, the two sat at the end of the carriage, the journey was tiring, both of them felt tired, dazed and almost fell asleep.
Suddenly, the bus braked suddenly, and Li Kai and Xie Yanran's heads slammed into the back of the seat in front of them, and the two woke up in pain. I only heard someone outside the car smashing the door, and the driver and passengers were so frightened that they shrank in the car and didn't dare to move.
"Hurry up and open the door, if you don't open it, I'll smash the door!" shouted the man who smashed the door outside.
When the driver saw that the people outside were about to slam the door, he had no choice but to press the car door to let people in. Outside the car door walked in three large men, the big men wore hoods on their faces, and their faces were unrecognizable, but all three were burly and athletic, two of them had daggers in their hands, and one of them had a pistol.
After the three got into the car, one of the people with the dagger held the driver and controlled the driver from driving, while the other two walked to the middle of the car.
"Take out the money and the valuable things on your body, if Lao Tzu finds out that you are hiding things and are reluctant to take them, Lao Tzu will shoot you!" shouted the man with the pistol.
Another man with a dagger took out a large travel bag, got up from the front seat of the car, and at every seat he reached, he took the dagger and threatened it, and the passengers in the car were so frightened that they trembled when they saw the weapons in the hands of the robbers, and they dared to resist, so they obediently took out all the belongings in their pockets and threw them into their bags.
Seeing this, Li Kai and Xie Yanran had no choice, thinking about it, there was indeed nothing valuable on their bodies, and they didn't know what to do when the robbers came over and embarrassed themselves. Li Kai decided in his heart that no matter how dangerous it was, he couldn't let the robbers hurt Xie Yanran, and at most risked his life to deal with them.
The robber has walked to the middle of the carriage, an old man tremblingly took out his wallet, the robber with a dagger opened the wallet, there were only less than 100 yuan in cash in bits and pieces, the robber poured the money into the travel bag, looked up, only to see the old man wearing a watch on his left wrist, the watch should be old, it was mottled and looked shabby, but the dial could vaguely see that there was a golden luster, how much it should be worth some money.
"Take off your watch, old man, and throw it here!" said the robber brutally.
"Sir...... This watch was bought to me by my family, it has been an old thing for many years, it is not worth anything, just leave a thought, you raise your noble hand......" The old man smiled and said.
"What so much nonsense! If you take it off, pick it up quickly!" the robber was impatient and had already begun to grab it.
The old man desperately protected his watch, and pushed back and forth with the robber with his right hand, the robber was irritated by the old man, and hit the old man's shoulders and back with the handle of the dagger, although the old man was in pain, but he did not show weakness and still resisted stubbornly.
The robber was angry, his eyes became fierce, he raised the dagger, and stabbed the old man in the chest, seeing that the uncle was about to die under the knife, Xie Yanran was so frightened that he covered his eyes, Li Kai had already stood up and was ready to run to the front to stop the robber.
At this moment, a hand tightly grasped the hand of the robber with a dagger.
"Friend, don't hurt your life if you rob money. The man grabbed the robber as he slowly stood up from the seat next to him, judging from his back, he didn't seem to be very old, he was a teenager, but the boy was strong and strong.
Li Kai saw that someone was stopping, he stopped, he wanted to take a look at the young man's face, but the young man always turned his back to him, and he couldn't see his appearance.
Seeing this, the robber with a gun on the side pointed his gun at the boy and walked over.
"Are you tired of living?" said the gunman through gritted teeth.
"If you are just trying to make money, I don't want to take care of it, after all, this is also your ability to make a living, but you want to hurt people and kill people, so I can't sit idly by. Although the boy was pointed at gunpoint, he said very calmly.
"I'm going to kill someone!," the dagger-wielding robber's eyes widened in anger, "I'll kill you first today and let you talk so much nonsense!"
I saw that the robber broke away from the young man's hand, and then the dagger stabbed him in the chest, this stab was extremely fast, and the distance was extremely close, under normal circumstances, it was impossible to dodge, and everyone present exclaimed in surprise when they saw this.
The young man did not dodge or dodge, but actually stepped forward with his chest up and greeted him......
Suddenly, the robber's dagger disappeared!
Not only the robbers, but even the passengers around the boy were startled, and the boy turned the dagger away like a trick.
At this time, the young man copied in his right hand behind him, but there was an extra dagger, and I don't know what means he used, he actually snatched this dagger unconsciously.
"Damn, look for death!" the gunman became angry and gestured to the young man's head to shoot.
Everyone felt bad, and the passengers behind them got under their chairs, afraid that they would injure themselves by mistake.
But the gunshots did not ring for a long time.
Everyone didn't see the young man's movements clearly, and he actually snatched the robber's gun in his hand.
The boy turned sideways, his hands and feet were very sharp, he unloaded the magazine of the pistol, and threw the pistol into the robber's arms like scrap metal.
"Let's go, before I change my mind, you're no match for me. The boy said earnestly.
This surprise was not small, although they could not see the robbers' expressions, their eyes were already full of fear.
"We met a master today, let's withdraw ......," said the gun-wielding robber in a trembling voice.
The gun-wielding robbers waved their hands vigorously to signal the other two to retreat, and the three robbers threw their travel bags full of belongings on the ground, ran out of the carriage in a panic, and disappeared into the wilderness with a puff of smoke.
The driver and passengers in the carriage were shocked, Li Kai sat back in his seat, and was relieved to see that Xie Yanran was fine.
The teenager picked up the travel bag and returned the contents to the passengers. Although the robbers were let go, after all, the teenager kept everyone's belongings, and no one blamed him.
But Li Kai was a little dissatisfied, he felt that this person had the ability to catch the robbers and send them to the public security department, but it was really unreasonable to let them go so easily. Li Kaigang wanted to find this young man's theory, at this time, he saw the young man's face, this young man was none other than Wan Shulou, the second senior brother of Xiwutan.
When he met the deceased, Li Kai was in a very complicated mood, because he already knew his identity, after all, Wan Shulou had deceived himself before, and he didn't know how to face it at this time......
Li Kai hesitated, but decided to come forward to recognize him, after all, in his impression, Wanshulou was not a bad person.
"Senior Brother Wan!" Li Kai walked to the front of the carriage and bowed.
"Ming...... Senior Brother Ming, ......" Wan Shulou paused for a moment, and then replied a little nervously, his helpless state at this time and the courage when he frustrated the robbers just now were like two people.
"Don't call me Senior Brother Ming...... Li Kai smiled, "I already know it." ”
"Know...... What do you know?" Wan Shulou is still pretending to be stupid.
"I'm not Ming Shuhui, I've seen the real Ming Shuhui, so ......," Li Kai replied embarrassedly.
"Oh......" Wan Shulou looked even more embarrassed than Li Kai, he nodded and continued, "I'm really sorry to lie to you for so long." ”
"It's okay, the matter has been clarified, I don't blame you. Li Kai said with a smile, "This is not the place to talk, let's get off the train at the next stop in a while and find a place to talk in detail." ”
"Okay, I'm about to get off the train at the next stop, go to the restaurant and wait for someone, we can eat and talk there. Wan Shulou said happily.
The car continued to move forward for more than ten minutes, and came to a small village, which was not far from the Yuanhengbang factory, and Li Kai took Xie Yanran and Wan Shulou to get off at this stop.
The three of them arrived at a small secluded restaurant in the village, where there were no customers, only the owner and chef.
Li Kai briefly introduced Xie Yanran, but did not mention the identity of Xie Yanran's Six Arts Palace, and Wan Shulou didn't ask in detail, Xie Yanran quietly nodded gratefully at Li Kai.
"What should I call you now?" Wan Shulou said with a smile.
"This Miss Xie was entrusted to find me, and she told me that my name is Li Kai. Li Kai replied.
"Hmm...... Good name, easy to remember. Wan Shulou nodded and said.
"Yes, it should be easier to remember than the name Ming Shuhui. Li Kai also smiled.
"That's right!" Li Kai suddenly put away his smile and asked seriously, "I heard that Senior Luo Bin Luo was rescued by you?"
"yes. Wan Shulou nodded and said, "At that time, I had something to go to Yisheng Company, just in time for Senior Luo to be besieged, so I rescued him, how did you know him?"
"It's a long story, Senior Luo's heroism, I admire him very much. Li Kai sighed.
"Where is the other person now?" Li Kai asked, "Is it safe?"
"Don't worry, I've sent Senior Luo to a very safe place, and he's with a master now, no problem. Wan Shulou said to Li Kai with a smile.
"That's good, that's good, thank you......" Li Kai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news of Luo Bin's safety.
"Why did you come here?" asked Wan Shulou curiously.
"I saw Ming Shuhui before, but then I got separated, but there are some things I still have to ask him, this Miss Xie is also looking for him everywhere......" Li Kai pointed at Xie Yanran, Xie Yanran couldn't help but blush when she heard Li Kai mention Ming Shuhui, "We guessed if he would be in the Yuanheng Gang in Xiwutan, so we took the car to prepare to go over, but I didn't expect to meet you in the car." ”
"Then you may be disappointed. Wan Shulou shook his head and said, "I have been in the Yuanheng Gang for the past two days, and Senior Brother Ming has not come." ”
