Chapter 24: Bait

"Brother Cha, why don't I take him to see Master Li?"

Seeing Xiao Wu speak, the officer thought that he was not a prisoner, so he followed Xiao Wu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"It couldn't be better that the young man was willing to help. ”

Then he pointed to the chain in the scholar's hand, as if to ask if he needed to take it off. Xiao Wu said with a smile.

"This little brother is not a bad guy, this chain is not necessary, please send the eldest brother to take it off. ”

"What Shaoxia said is reasonable. ”

Removing the chain from the hand of the scholar with an angry look in his eyes, the official saw that the scholar was quite dissatisfied in his heart, and immediately said.

"This young man is a big hero who exterminated the desert horse bandits, you sour show talent will follow the young man to meet the adult, don't look for trouble on the way. We're holding you for your own good, why do you have to die at a young age!"

After speaking, he gestured to Xiao Wu and turned to leave.

"You!"

When the scholar heard the words in the official's mouth, he immediately became angry and wanted to come forward to theorize, but Xiao Wu hurriedly grabbed the scholar when he saw this.

"Brother Tai, a gentleman should guard against arrogance and rashness, why bother with this kind of senseless fighting. ”

The scholar heard that Xiao Wu's words were moderate, so he turned around and looked, and saw that Xiao Wu looked extraordinary, dressed in a chivalrous uniform, although he was young, he was also heroic, and then he remembered that Xiao Wu in front of him had relieved himself from the siege under the official mission, and hurriedly thanked him.

"Xiaosheng thanks Brother Tai, these officials are so unreasonable, they take people casually, if it weren't for Brother Tai's rescue, Xiaosheng would have to suffer some hardships. ”

Brother Tai laughed, although Fang Cai's official temper was a little anxious, he was not a bad person, this ruined temple outside the city was haunted, and it was passed down from the old people in this Beiguo City, and it should not be regarded as a joke. ”

Hearing that Xiao Wu mentioned the haunting of the broken temple, the scholar immediately said with a serious expression.

"Xiaosheng Guan Brother Tai is also a person who has read the book of the sage, how can he be so ignorant, you need to know that the sage has words, the son is silent, the strange power is confused, and the haunted thing is thought to be a rumor in the city, but it is regarded as true by the people, where does the ghost come from in this world. ”

When Xiao Wu saw the scholar say this, he didn't argue with him, but said modestly.

"I'm just a prodigal in the next place, and I've read a few books occasionally. By the way, you and I have been talking for so long, and I still don't know the name of Brother Taigao?"

"The surname Gao doesn't dare, and the surname of Xiaosheng is Ning with a single name, I don't know how to call Brother Tai?"

"I was adopted by Master since I was a child, and everyone called me Xiao Wu. ”

"It turned out to be a little martial arts young man, and I just heard from the errand that the young man exterminated the desert horse bandits and eliminated harm for the people, and Xiao Sheng admired it very much. ”

Ning Rong said solemnly, without the slightest flattery, Xiao Wu hurriedly said when he saw this.

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's not my credit to be able to get rid of those horse bandits, I'm just helping from the side, if I really want to face the horse bandits alone, Brother Ning won't be able to see me today. ”

Ning Rong shook his head and said.

"Knowing that he is not defeated by many people on the other side, but he still does not change his heart, Brother Tai is enough to be called a chivalrous word. ”

Seeing Ning Rong's serious appearance, Xiao Wu said with a smile.

"Brother Ning has an overreputation, if I continue to boast, I will really be ashamed. Saying that, Xiao Wu seemed to think of something. "I would like to ask Brother Ning why he wants to spend the night in the broken temple? Although this city is small, there are still inns. ”

At the mention of this, Ning Rong's face couldn't help but flush, and he said with some embarrassment.

"Alas, it's all because I'm confused, I lost the entanglement on the road, but I came to collect the accounts this time but found that the accounts couldn't be checked, and I needed to go back to get the stubs to check. The innkeeper kindly gave me a bag of dry food, and was willing to let me stay in his shop for one night and leave again tomorrow. ”

Xiao Wu couldn't help but wonder when he heard this.

"Isn't that just right, Brother Tai will stay in the inn and leave tomorrow morning, and it is good to go to the broken temple to eat and sleep in the open. ”

saw Ning Rong shaking his head and said.

"I am already ashamed to accept the dry food, how dare I bother the shopkeeper anymore. It so happened that I passed a ruined temple outside the city on the way here, and I had stopped there this morning, and I had not seen the ghosts that the officials had said, so I wanted to go there tonight for the night, and it would be better to go back early tomorrow. Who would have thought that those soldiers would not allow me to go out of the city, and escorted me over, and then I met my brother. ”

Xiao Wu understood what Ning Rong meant, and secretly said in his heart, although this scholar is old-fashioned and stubborn, he is still a good person. Originally, I wanted to use this person as bait to ambush my grandmother with Yan Zhao and the others, but I didn't want to do it at the moment, although I was sure to protect the life of this scholar, but after all, I would put others in danger.

Xiao Wu, who had a general idea in his heart, proposed.

"One of my brothers and I are staying at the house of Li County in this Beiguo City, that is a loyal elder, if Brother Ning is willing, he can ask Lord Li in the future, and he will not refuse Brother Ning to stay overnight. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds? ”

Unexpectedly, Ning Rong directly refused.

"Thank you Shaoxia for your kindness, it's just that Shaoxia has already helped me once, and I don't dare to bother Shaoxia anymore. And Xiao Sheng is about to go to the ruined temple outside the city to check it out, but I want to see who the ghost is, I have a heroic righteousness in my chest, and see that he dares to approach me. ”

Seeing what Ning Rong said categorically, Xiao Wu couldn't help but scold.

"You have a heroic spirit in your chest, and ghosts don't dare to add to my trust, but why don't you want to think that people will be afraid of your righteousness? Since you don't believe in ghosts, why can't you think about if someone deliberately pretends to be a ghost?

・・・・・・

Xiao Wu has been in the rivers and lakes over the years, and he has dealt with everyone, and Confucian students have also encountered a lot, so he naturally understands how to communicate with them. It's just that Xiao Wu, a Confucian man with a sword, has seen it with Mr. Xiao Wu, who is full of poetry and books, and even Xiao Wu, a scholar who is as powerless as Ning Rong, has seen a lot, but a scholar like Ning Rong who is defenseless but has an adventurous heart is really the only one.

At this time, the land of Shenzhou, the four continents are all martial arts, except for the West Niu He Zhou, all of them are advocating Taoism, and the West Niu He Zhou, which borders the Longyou Road, is the ancestral court of Buddhism, as for the Spring and Autumn Princes of the year, most of the schools left by the sons are relatively small, even if the Confucianism that the Tang Emperor is very respected by the Tang Emperor is difficult to have a scale in this land of China.

It is because most of the Confucian students are concentrated in the southern Ganbu Continent under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, but there are still a few people like Ning Rong who do not know martial arts at all, and you need to know that the Confucian family also has a lot of miraculous skills in the world, just like Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda and others, who are important ministers in the court, are a generation of Confucianism, and the same martial arts are extraordinary.

・・・・・・

Seeing Ning Rong's determination not to hit the south wall and not to look back, Xiao Wu knew in his heart that he and he were just meeting him, and it was useless to persuade him.

"Since you took the initiative to be bait, I can't stop it, so let you go. ”

Xiao Wu, who was secretly smiling in his heart, did not change his face, and his face showed a slightly embarrassed look.

"Brother Ning has made up his mind, and I can't persuade him again, so I will talk to the guards at the city gate to see if I can let Brother Ning go, but Brother Ning is alone in the broken temple, please be careful." ”

Ning Rong was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed.

"Thank you Shaoxia, I am grateful. ”

・・・・・・

"Brother Yan, Brother Yan・・・・・・ !!!!! Yan Zhao"

"Huh?"

Xiao Wu was lucky with dantian, and shouted that he would not lose the roar of the lion of Buddhism, and called the sleeping Yan Zhao up. The sleepy-eyed Yan Zhao looked at Xiao Wu in confusion, obviously he was still in a state of loss of soul at this moment.

Xiao Wu held the Acacia Sword in his arms, stood upright beside Yan Zhao, watching Yan Zhao's eyes gradually become focused from being distracted, about a cup of tea, Yan Zhao found Xiao Wu beside him, wiped the saliva, sat up straight, and asked.

"Brother, what did you call me up?"

Xiao Wu asked expressionlessly.

"Brother Yan, I remember that you should be at the city gate now, to find out if the old woman who fought with you that day has infiltrated the city. ”

Yan Zhao said disappreciatively.

"Ah, I came there in the morning, but I said that my brother was really sad about this, and Master Li saw that I was sleepy and asked me to come back for a nap. ”

"What if that grandma sneaks into the city today?"

"You and my brother can still be afraid of her, besides, brother, the devil knows when she will come, it's not a matter if you keep making me wait there stupidly. ”

Seeing that Yan Zhao was really impatient to check on the city, Xiao Wu said with a smile.

"Since Brother Yan doesn't want to wait for a long time, why don't you and I go to find her today?"

Yan Zhao was immediately overjoyed when he heard this.

"This is a good feeling, brother, have you inquired about the old monster's lair? ”

As he spoke, Yan Zhao picked up the sword box beside him, got up and was about to walk out, but was hurriedly stopped by Xiao Wu.

"Don't worry, Brother Yan, we have to wait a little longer. ”

"Wait!

Xiao Wu turned his head to look at the sunset outside the house, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
