Chapter Twenty-Seven: Darkness Under the Light

Ruoxue is dressed as a Taoist priest, and Lan'er is by her side. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Faced with the current predicament, Ruoxue really used her brains and deliberately put on a Taoist robe that symbolized her identity, because she knew that Taoist priests had a lofty status in people's minds.

The two walked out of the Fulai Inn, but they were embarrassed to catch fast, Nalan Ruoxue, who was dressed as a Taoist priest, was obviously the object of his arrest, but the Taoist priest was a fairy, how could he dare to do it casually as an ordinary person, and it would really be embarrassing for him.

Nalan Ruoxue and Lan'er walked out as if no one was there, and they quickly stopped them: "Wait a minute!"

"What's the matter?" Ruoxue was strong and calm, but the immortal power on her body had automatically gushed out, forcing her to catch fast and get close.

The catcher knew it well, but he could only rush forward, blocking Ruoxue's way forward with the scimitar in his hand, and unfolding the portrait with the other hand, comparing it back and forth, "Well, it's them, take it for me." Then he withdrew and left the hard work to his hands.

Officials, look at me, I look at you, similar arrest operations often happened in the past, if you catch some small traders and hawkers, they will give the arrest to save face quickly, go up to help, if you arrest the most vicious people, they will hide far away in the morning, they will never do it.

Today is different, for before they came, everything had been laid out, and they were ordered in fierce words that the person in the portrait must be arrested.

The officials knew that it would be a chore, and they knew that even drudgery would have to be done, because once the man spoke, they had no choice.

Look at me, I'll look at you, and after a while, more than a dozen servants surrounded him, surrounding Nalan Ruoxue, who was thin and weak, and the maid Lan'er beside her.

"Come with us!" the officials were fierce and vicious. There were a lot of people around them, whispering one by one, talking about the crimes committed by Nalan Ruoxue and Lan'er. This is the case with ordinary people, who have always remained silent about the truly wicked and hid as they could, for fear that bad luck would haunt them, but they are extremely concerned about these things that are spread falsely, and the closer they go, for fear of missing any of them.

This is the reason why the so-called poor people must have something to hate.

A group of big men surrounded Ruoxue and Lan'er in the middle, their tall and burly figures covered the sunlight, which made Ruoxue very unhappy, "Canglang", purple light out of the sheath, sweeping thousands of troops!

"It's broken!" When Shen Fei came closer, he saw Ruoxue sweeping through thousands of troops, and said in his heart: If you kill them all, we will have to go home!

But seeing the sword light overflowing, the sword qi from the horizontal, Nalan Ruoxue swept through the thousands of armies in one style, the ethereal sword shadow shook everyone dizzy, and the overflowing sword intent made the onlookers scream, and everyone realized who the opponent they were facing was and who they were going to capture.

swept through the thousands of troops in one style, scaring everyone present, with the sound of "brushing", the purple light returned to the sheath, and the pants of the catchers all fell to the ground, skimming the knives in their hands one by one, and hurriedly lifting the pants under the waist, causing the ridicule of the onlookers.

"Hehe!" Nalan Ruo's face turned red, after all, he was the deputy daughter, and lowered his voice and said, "Ahem, do you want to stop me?"

The arrester with the wanted warrant in his hand was stunned by Ruoxue's shocking sword, his teeth chattered, and his legs trembled, "Dao...... Dao Ye...... I...... We...... Also...... Acting on orders...... Please ......"

"Okay!" Ruoxue pushed him away, "I don't bother to care about your discouragement, get out of the way, I'm going to eat." ”

took two steps forward, and then turned back again: "Don't follow me, otherwise it won't be as simple as pants that will be cut off, and it may be ......"

"Hiss!" Ruoxue drew a head-killing gesture, which frightened a group of five big and three thick old men to jump up, "Bye-bye!"

Where Ruoxue passed, the crowd automatically separated to both sides, and everyone whispered, but they were no longer talking about Ruoxue's case, but about her identity, and who was more powerful between the Taoist priest and the monk, and the gaze looking at Ruoxue also changed from ridicule to awe.

On the contrary, this group of officials is really disgraced and has no prestige at all.

Away from the crowd, Lan'er grabbed Ruoxue's arm and smiled knowingly: "Sister, look at their appearance, it's so funny." ”

"Is my sword powerful?" Ruoxue is also happy, after all, the first time she encountered difficulties, she solved them perfectly, and she must be happy in her heart.

"Amazing, amazing, Lan'er was stunned. Lan'er said with a grin.

"Hee-hee, it's nothing, it's a breeze for me, and there's a chance to teach you two tricks. After a pause, Ruoxue showed a regretful expression, "It's a pity that Shen Fei wasn't next to me, and he didn't see my heroic appearance." ”

"Miss, talking counts, you really have to teach me a few tricks when you're fine, just a few tricks, Lan'er, I'm good at self-defense." ”

"Yes, who is with us. ”

Shen Fei stood at the mouth of the alley, watching Ruoxue's moderate performance and finally relieved his heart, the clothed guest walked over from behind him and patted him on the shoulder: "It is worthy of Mingzhu's child, it seems that our worries are superfluous." ”

"Indeed......" Shen Fei said helplessly.

......

When Shen Fei walked in, it caused everyone's eyes to look back and the silence of the entire Cuilanxuan, and the wanted notice with a clear portrait was posted at the main entrance of Cuilanxuan, Shen Fei was known to be an important suspect in the murder case, but he still dared to come to Cuilanxuan, which shows his strength and courage.

In the line of sight, Shen Fei walked straight through the crowd and went upstairs, and none of the thugs dared to stop him, because they had all witnessed Shen Fei kill the arrogant and domineering Changzang monk as simply as he pinched an ant to death. Even Monk Changzang was no match for this man, let alone others.

Shen Fei stepped on the steps and walked up step by step, during which the old bustard greeted him with a smile, but he was also blocked by the invisible air cover, and he couldn't enter.

"I have something to talk about with your Xuan Master, and none of you are allowed to come up!" Shen Fei stood on the fourth floor, turned to the downstairs and said, "Remember my words!"

"Bang!", kicked open the normally closed door on the fourth floor, Shen Fei walked in, and soon found the figure sitting in the dark, it should be said that before entering the door, he knew that Lord Xuan was there.

"Whew!" The candles in the room were inexplicably lit, row by row, arranged along the wall, clearing the darkness in the room, in the line of sight, the master of Cuilan Xuan slowly raised his hand, and the door that was kicked down was controlled by an inexplicable force, slowly flew up, and returned to the door frame, blocking everyone's curious eyes.

"You're here, Shen Gongzi. "The Lord of Cuilan Xuanxuan has his back against the Luohan bed, and he is separated from Shen Fei by a table. As if to increase the color of blood on his face, he still wears a wide burgundy robe, the neckline is embroidered with a star pattern with gold thread, and his bare hands are thin and slender, giving you the feeling of a sharp knife.

"You should know why I'm here. Shen Fei stood opposite him and said unceremoniously.

"Shen Gongzi said with a smile, how can I know why you came. Lord Cuilan Xuan smiled disappreciatively.

"Open the skylight and speak brightly, and immediately revoke the arrest warrants for me and Ruoxue. ”

"It's just a wanted warrant, anyway, the mortal hunters can't help you, why are you in such a hurry. ”

"Naturally, they didn't want to help me, but it seriously damaged my reputation and that of Ruoxue. ”

"Reputation? Wasn't the monk Changzang killed by Shen Gongzi? If you dare to do it, why don't you dare to do it?"

"That Changzang monk killed so many innocent people, why didn't you see him wanted by you!"

"Shen Gongzi's words are not right, if you kill someone who violates the law, you have to accept the corresponding punishment, you can't kill someone yourself. Is there any royal law to talk about?"

"You're going to treat them differently. ”

"It's still the same sentence, anyway, the catchers are all rice buckets, so I can't help you at all, what does it matter if the wanted warrant is revoked or not. Cui Lanxuan smiled faintly, "What's more, it is the government that posts the wanted notice, and it is also the government that is responsible for arresting people, so how can I, a businessman, revoke the official documents issued by the government!"

"Hehe, you know that my crime is murder, and the murderer is an outlaw, killing one person is killing, and killing two people is also killing, do you understand what I mean?"

"Shen Gongzi is threatening?"

"I'm telling you calmly that the arrest warrants against me and Ruoxue will be revoked immediately. ”

"It's a pity that I'm just an ordinary businessman and can't be the master of the government, so I can't do anything. ”

"It doesn't seem like talking to you calmly is going to work. ”

"Shen Gongzi really wants to use a strong one? Okay, I haven't moved for a long time, and I can just comprehend the strength of the young master of the Taoist Sect. ”

"You're not from the Daomen?"

"I am a scattered immortal, not from Shu Mountain. ”

"Shushan is the way. ”

"This son is wrong, the earliest origin of Taoism came from the sea. ”

"Penglai Island?"

Lord Cuilan Xuan nodded.

"It turns out that you are from Penglai Immortal Island. ”

"I am a scattered immortal, a scattered immortal who has practiced immortal arts and likes to be the king and hegemon in the place, Shen Gongzi, you must understand that Shushan is just a general name, there are many scattered immortals in the world, everyone has their own ambitions, and not one immortal mountain can cover it. ”

"But you're still an immortal. ”

"My interests are not aligned with Shushan. ”

"I can give you more. ”

"I've never been greedy. ”

"Are you willing to stay in this poor country for the rest of your life?"

"Shen Gongzi, your idea is too naΓ―ve, really too naΓ―ve! I think you really chose the wrong target for the first stop after going down the mountain, you should go to the imperial capital first, and you will know how naΓ―ve and whimsical your ideas and your master's ideas are. ”

"Anything great starts with a whim. ”

"Huh!"

"Am I not right?"

"Great things happen that require bloodshed. ”

"I'm not afraid of bloodshed. ”

"You are not afraid, but you can't stop the people around you from being afraid. ”

"That makes sense, but it's off topic. ”

"I really can't meet your request, and I can't do it. ”

"No, looking at Ruyang City, only you can do what I ask you to do. ”

"Huh. ”

"Don't push me to do it. ”

"I've never been afraid of any threat. ”

"Then look at the sword. A large number of petals gathered from all directions, converging into the shape of a sword, Shen Fei held the fairy sword in his hand, slashed horizontally, and with a "brush", the window on the fourth floor of Cuilanxuan was torn in half from the middle, and the cold wind outside immediately penetrated in, blowing out the candle flame that had just been lit, and Shen Fei and the Lord of Cuilanxuan fell into darkness at the same time.

"Shen Gongzi, your fairy sword is very special. "Falling into darkness, the Lord of Cuilan Xuan Xuan did not panic.

"I've already taken out the sword, and you haven't done it yet, are you looking down on Shen?"

"Are you really trying to force me to show my sword?"

"Why else am I here? ”

"Even if I am subdued by force, what can I do, the official document will not be revoked, never, because this is the territory of the Buddha's sect. ”

"Looks like you don't want to fight me. ”

"We have no reason to draw our swords against each other. ”

"Then tell me where the city lord of Ruyang City is now. ”

"Naturally, the lord of the castle is staying in his own mansion. ”

"I've been, but he's not there. ”

"If you don't wait, Ruyang City is a big place, and the city lord won't disappear for no reason. ”

"Won't disappear for no reason?"

"Of course. ”

Shen Fei's heart moved, and he asked, "How many mansions does the city lord have here?"

"As far as I know, there's only one place. ”

"But ......"

"Shen Gongzi, do you know the truth that it is dark under the lamp?"

"Hehe, I see, but if I can't find it, I'll come back to you. ”

"Listen to me. ”

......

Shen Fei had never met the city lord of Ruyang City, and his identification of the city lord was through the words or actions of the people around him, so if all the people around him ignored the existence of the city lord, he would not be able to find this person.

The first time he came to the City Lord's Mansion, Shen Fei searched around it and didn't find what he wanted; this time he came here again, Shen Feizai carefully observed everyone, but he still didn't find it, but he saw an acquaintance - Yan Ni! Yan Ni, who had a relationship in the marriage hall.

Yan Ni appeared in the City Lord's Mansion, which shows that she didn't brag when she revealed her identity before. Thinking of her elegant and unpretentious manners, and her good conversation, Shen Fei knew that the woman in front of him must have been cultivated by the city lord with all his heart.

Yan Ni only had a personal maid by his side, and when Shen Fei stepped forward, he could just hear the two chatting.

"Miss, I'm still painting portraits of those two. The maid said with a grin.

Yan Ni sat in front of the table, caressing the bright hair on his head, revealing a preoccupied look, and there were two portraits of people on the table in front of him, and the shadows of Shen Fei and Nalan Ruoxue could be vaguely recognized from the slightly green brushstrokes.
