Chapter 54: Snatching the hydrangea
"Lin Daxia has a good reputation, this official is the parent official of Anyang County, where his responsibilities lie, this is just a matter of duty, now that Lin Daxia has come to help, I will rest assured tomorrow. Lord Liu said with a smile.
"How many bandits are there in Qiao Lingyu's gang?" Lin Xiaoxie asked, the advanced task released by the system is to 'exterminate the bandits entrenched in Anyang County', if you just catch or eliminate Qiao Lingyu alone, it will not be considered to have completed the task.
In addition to the three leaders, there are more than 50 people in this gang of bandits, and they are entrenched in the area of Erqi Mountain in the wilderness of Anyang County. The chief arrester replied.
"Do the torture heads know their specific locations, as long as I send some people to show me the way, I can go there and exterminate them!" Lin Xiaoxie suggested.
"There is more than one hiding place for bandits, if they find that they are not capable of the enemy, they will scatter and flee, and there is another main reason, every time Qiao Lingyu takes the territory bandits to rob the merchants, he is masked, no one has ever seen his true face, I heard that even within their bandits, only the second and third masters who are aligned with him have seen his true face. The chief arrester looked suspicious.
"What about the chivalrous man who chased him last time, haven't you seen his true face?" Lin Xiaoxie asked suspiciously.
"Qiao Lingyu was injured by the unique martial arts of the passing chivalrous man when he was masked, and after Qiao Lingyu was injured, the chivalrous man couldn't be sure who he injured at the beginning. The chief arrester explained.
The little girl didn't want to talk about Qiao Lingyu's appearance. Lord Liu added.
"Then we have to wait until we 'throw hydrangeas to recruit relatives'. "Lin Xiaoxie thinks that Qiao Lingyu will come with a few people, if he doesn't grab the hydrangea, he may rob his relatives, then he needs to bring all the bandits, as long as this happens, I can successfully complete the task at one time.
"Qiao Lingyu's martial arts are first-class in Anyang County, which is why we need Lin Daxia's help, as long as the hydrangea is snatched, whoever shows profound martial arts is Qiao Lingyu!" said the chief arrester.
"Tomorrow, everything will go according to plan. Lord Liu said.
......
Nothing was said all night.
The time is about to arrive, and a big gong is added to the embroidery floor, and the rule of throwing hydrangea to recruit relatives is that after the gong sounds, who is in the hands of the hydrangea, who is the winner of the hydrangea, that is, the Liu family's Chenglong fast son-in-law.
Of course, in order to avoid throwing hydrangea to recruit relatives into a collective brawl for snatching hydrangeas, after the hydrangea is thrown, in a very short time, the big gong will be struck.
Liu Xixi has not come out yet, the man in charge of striking the gong is already in place, he is pretending to be from the government, and he has been personally instructed by Lord Liu, after the hydrangea is thrown, the gong will be sounded a little later.
Below the embroidery building is a sea of people, the scene is bigger than Lin Xiaoxie imagined, not only there are young men who come to try their luck, there are also a lot of women who come to see the excitement, on the surface, there are also some ordinary officers and soldiers maintaining order, Lin Xiaoxie and some other elite officers and soldiers are wearing ordinary people's clothes, mixed in the crowd.
As the time gradually came, "Liu Xixi, come out! Liu Xixi, come out!" The crowd of onlookers made a burst of excited noise, Lin Xiaoxie found that the little bell was also coming, and the others were a little shorter, afraid that they would not see everyone downstairs grabbing the hydrangea, the little bell climbed on the branch of a big tree nearby, and now he was also anxiously shouting.
In the wave after wave of shouts, Liu Xixi finally came out, she was slender, wearing a phoenix crown, dressed as a bride, holding a lantern-sized red hydrangea in her hand, the red light veil covered her face, and the eyes exposed outside were bright and clear, and the water was bright, so that people felt pity when they saw it, and they couldn't wait to take out their best things and share them with her.
"Throw it to me!" "Throw it to me!" ......
Seeing Liu Xixi come out, the crowd downstairs shouted frantically while waving to Liu Xixi.
"Throw it to me!" In addition to the mainstream man's voice, there is also a crisp female voice, which is completely watching the lively young girl in fear that the world will not be chaotic.
The elite officers and soldiers who were mixed in the crowd were all carefully observing the others around them, trying to find out who Qiao Lingyu was, or who were the bandits under him.
Lin Xiaoxie secretly thought, according to my previous experience, whether it is a game, a novel, or a film and television, the protagonist encounters something like a martial arts competition, throwing a hydrangea, recruiting a horse, etc., even if there are twists and turns, in the end, it must be the protagonist who hugs the beauty, or gets the love of the beauty, how can it be his turn, this plot is not right.
Cranky thoughts are cranky thoughts, the system task still has to be completed, Lin Xiaoxie stared at Liu Xixi tightly, all the people here, only Liu Xixi knew Qiao Lingyu, as long as he kept an eye on her and observed her expression, it was possible to find Qiao Lingyu.
Liu Xixi walked around the second floor of the embroidery building with a hydrangea, and wherever she found it, the shouts of the crowd in the direction close to her "throw it to me" became more and more crazy.
Lin Xiaoxie found that Liu Xixi was secretly observing the crowd downstairs, this was looking for where Qiao Lingyu was standing.
Finally, Liu Xixi stopped and was about to throw away!
Seeing her move, everyone downstairs immediately changed from a crowd to an extremely quiet one, and everyone held their breath and waited!
Liu Xixi's eyes saw that it was the gathering place of the group of poor scholars in Shigu Academy.
Although Liu Xi cherished the light veil to cover her face, Lin Xiaoxie still saw that her eyes showed joy, and she smiled.
Liu Xixi didn't hesitate any longer, she threw it, and the red hydrangea flew away to the crowd!!
Lin Xiaoxie obviously felt that Liu Xixi wanted to throw the hydrangea to the group of poor scholars.
, sure enough, since ancient times, it is still an old routine, and the young lady of a large family prefers poor scholars!
Liu Xixi has never practiced martial arts, and his strength is not great, because there are too many people, the group of scholars in Shigu Academy did not grab a good position, a little far away from the embroidery building, and the hydrangea has not yet reached the gathering place of the scholars, so it fell.
Hydrangea snatch battle begins!
Where the hydrangea fell, seven or eight hands were raised high at the same time!
The place where the hydrangea fell was not far from the big fat man who fought yesterday, and the big fat man was overjoyed, rushed over, occupied the tonnage, and knocked the owner of the seven or eight hands on his back!
The big fat man raised his hands and successfully received the hydrangea!
"Haha, I got it!" the big fat man shouted excitedly.
The big fat man's voice did not fall, and several hands slapped the hydrangea at the same time, the big fat man couldn't hold it, and the hydrangea took off!
Suddenly, in the direction of the hydrangea throwing, the crowd was confused.
The rich boy brother Liu Gongzi last time, this time he really hired dozens of tall strong men to help him grab the hydrangea together.
It's a pity that the red hydrangea that Liu Xixi threw was not the direction he was standing in at all, even though Liu Gongzi was powerful, but across the crowd, it was not powerful!
Liu Gongzi was so anxious that he yelled!
