Chapter 20 Go and Rescue the Soldiers
Xiao Lan thought to herself: This guy must have heard this guy when he was talking to Xue Yan about Sword Rain Stone at the inn, otherwise he had to be cautious, and it was expected that this man with a hat would not be able to know about Sword Rain Stone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xiao Lan thought that it was better to hold the man in the hat first so that he didn't dare to hurt Tang Yueying and Xue Yan, and then go out to find a way to come to the rescue.
Xiao Lan smiled: "Yes, the Sword Rain Stone is with me, but I didn't bring it with me, as long as you can guarantee the safety of these two girls, I will immediately go back to the inn to get the Sword Rain Stone in exchange, how about it?"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, as long as you can bring the sword rain stone, I promise that no fly can fly to these two girls before this, but this sword rain stone is a coveted artifact for people in the rivers and lakes, and it is much more cost-effective than these two girls" The man in the hat smiled proudly.
"You don't have to worry about it, you just have to fulfill your promise," Xiao Lan said disdainfully.
"Hmm" The man in the hat turned around and stared at Tang Yueying: "Okay, it seems that there are really people who love beauties, but they don't love the country, yes, it's a lover."
"Remember what you said, I'm leaving" Xiao Lan squinted angrily at the man in the hat and left after a while.
Out of the cave, Xiao Lan kept taking big strides and rushed into the inn.
"Hero, hero, can you have a harvest today?" The shopkeeper saw that it was Xiao Lan who entered the door, and immediately greeted him.
Xiao Lan looked left and right and said, "Go to my room, I'll tell you in detail."
After Xiao Lan finished speaking, she went upstairs, and the shopkeeper also hurried upstairs after her.
"Hero, please forgive me for saying goodbye this morning, mainly because there are old mothers, wives and children in the little family, and I don't know how the hero's martial arts methods are, so I left in a hurry, the hero is not strange!" The shopkeeper nodded vigorously and apologized.
Xiao Lan looked at the shopkeeper's expression and movements, which were very sincere and not fake, so she walked over and comforted: "It's good that you're gone, otherwise I will have to be distracted to protect you during the war, and I won't have that time to spare."
"Yes, yes" The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Hero, have the two girls been rescued?"
Dian Xiaoer is obviously still more concerned about this matter, after all, this is the best way to show Xiao Lan's methods.
"Hey, it's a long story, I could have rescued them, but at that time, my sword had already been put on the neck of the thief leader, who knew that the thief leader didn't keep his promise and pressed Yueying and them out as hostages" Xiao Lan slammed the bed along the road.
"And what are your plans?" asked the shopkeeper as he stepped forward.
Xiao Lan looked at the shopkeeper and shook her head helplessly: Although this shopkeeper is sincere, he can't help me, if he falls into a crisis again, my conscience will be at peace.
Xiao Lan looked at the shopkeeper and smiled: "Let me figure out the next thing alone, after all, you are also a person with a wife and children, how can I, Xiao Lan, bear to drag you into the water?"
If it weren't for my greed for life and fear of death, the two girls would not be in deep danger. Eh, hero, I don't think it's as good as this, our Anyuan Town belongs to Lingnan County, and from here it is more than thirty miles to the south, which is Lingnan County, you can go and explain this matter to Wang Taishou there, and let him send troops to help, so that the probability of success may be greater" The shopkeeper said with a flash of inspiration.
Xiao Lan got up and said with a smile: "Okay, just do it, I'll go to Lingnan County after lunch, and deliver the food to my room in a while."
"Yes, Daxia, then I'll go down" The shopkeeper bowed to Xiao Lan and closed the door and went out.
The noon sun shone directly on Anyuan Town, and the chatter on the banyan trees everywhere kept coming, and the whole Anyuan Town became noisy.
Xiao Lan hurriedly walked downstairs as soon as she finished lunch, nodded lightly to the shopkeeper in front of the counter, and left the inn.
Xiao Lan walked for about half an hour under the scorching sun and finally came to Lingnan County, which is also a small but very rich place, with high and low pavilions lined up one after another, and bypassing a few streets is the location of the county government.
The Lingnan County Ya is located in the center of Lingnan County, and several sergeants in military uniforms are patrolling back and forth outside the county office.
However, what made Xiao Lan feel strange was that these sergeants were lifeless one by one, and they didn't have the look that a soldier should have.
Xiao Lan didn't care if the sergeant was in good spirits, he only knew that he had to meet Wang Taishou as soon as possible and discuss a way to rescue Tang Yueying and the other girls, as long as Tang Yueying stayed in that kind of place for a while, Xiao Lan would not be at ease for a long time.
"Stop, who are you, what are you doing?" a sergeant stepped forward and pointed a gun at Xiao Lan.
Xiao Lan patted the sergeant on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Oh, let's just say that Xiao Lan, the young master of Xingyue Tower, has something important to discuss with Wang Taishou."
"You wait, I'll go and report to the Taishou," the sergeant finished speaking, and ran into the county office quickly with his gun.
Xiao Lan thought with a smile: No matter how you say it, Xingyue Tower is also a well-known Jianghu organization in the rivers and lakes, and Xingyue Tower, as one of the representatives of decency, also assists the government everywhere and helps the people do a lot of good things.
"Haha, it turned out to be Xiao Gongzi, it's a long way off."
Xiao Lan looked at it head-on, and a fat official with an official voice arched his hands and walked towards him, presumably this was Wang Taishou.
Xiao Lan saw Wang Taishou's smiling face, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Taishou braved the heat to go out to greet him, it was really embarrassing for Xiao Lan."
In fact, this Wang Taishou is like this, when he sees a little power, he is willing to step forward and stammer, hoping to ensure his safety from all aspects, after all, people have lived to this age, they have no lofty ambitions, and survival is more important than anything else.
"Ah! Xiao Gongzi is polite, it's hot outside, let's go into the house and watch the tea," Wang Taishou bowed and smiled.
As an official of the imperial court, he was respectful and flattered to a person in the rivers and lakes to such an extent, Xiao Lan couldn't help but despise it.
"Then there is Lao Taishou," Xiao Lan bowed slightly, and followed Wang Taishou into the county office.
Coming to the living room, Wang Taishou and Xiao Lan sat down one after another.
Wang Taishou waved his sleeves to the maid beside him, and the maid immediately handed the tea to Xiao Lan.
"Xiao Gongzi, please!" Wang Taishou picked up the cup and gestured to Xiao Lan.
"Too Shou please!" Xiao Lan also picked up the teacup and took a sip at the corner of her mouth.
Xiao Lan gently put down the teacup and said: "Mrs. Wang guards Yaxing, and the taste is actually Pu'er tea from Dali, Yunnan, I heard that Pu'er tea can clear the heart and eyes, presumably Wang Taishou governs Lingnan County on weekdays, and it is also forbidden by order, and it is peaceful."
"Haha, Xiao Gongzi, presumably you didn't just come to me to have tea with me, right?" Wang Taishou shook his head and smiled.
Xiao Lan also smiled and said: "Hehe, Taishou Mingjian, Xiao Lan really has a reluctant request to come this time, I hope to get Wang Taishou's help."
"Is it? As the young master of Xingyue Tower, Xiao Gongzi also has a lot of people in his hands, why did he come to this remote Lingnan county to ask me for help, I would like to hear about it!" Wang Taishou asked Xiao Lan rhetorically.
Xiao Lan got up and said: "Here's the thing, I received a request from the head of Hua Yuntian in Huanhuamen to go to Montenegro to arrest the Montenegrin thieves, I don't want the Montenegrin thieves to have a foresight, and they kidnapped my two friends with the incense, but Xiao Lan is weak, I heard that Wang Taishou is also chasing the Montenegrin thieves, so I want to cooperate with Wang Taishou to exterminate the Montenegrin thieves together."
"Haha, that's right, this ...... What's so difficult," Wang Taishou replied briskly, but was interrupted by the eyes of the county man next to him.
"Taishou, the stakes are very high, we still have to think about it in the long run" The county Cheng on the side gave Wang Taishou a look.
This made Xiao Lan see something unusual, thinking that it must be that the county is greedy for life and afraid of death.
"Xiao Gongzi, this matter is big, let me go down and discuss with the county Cheng" Wang Taishou signaled his subordinates: "Come on, please Xiao Gongzi go down to rest, Xiao Gongzi is a distinguished guest and must not be neglected"
Xiao Lan was taken to the guest room by two maids.
"Taishou! Didn't the leader of the Black Mountain Thieves warn us that we are not allowed to encircle and suppress the Black Mountain Thieves by ourselves and assist others? If we help Xiao Lan to break the thieves this time, it would be better to say that if we succeed, if we don't succeed, the Black Mountain Thieves will enter the city in the future and harass us, and who here can withstand it, and when the people above inquire about the political achievements, I am afraid that the Taishou will not be able to protect it," the county Cheng analyzed in detail for Wang Taishou.
"Although we have a deal with the black mountain thief, but it is difficult to guarantee that one day the incident will happen, and I can't be trampled under the feet of the black mountain thief all the time, in order to keep my political achievements in Lingnan County all these years, I have been submissive everywhere and live like a person?" Wang Taishou became more and more angry the more he said.
The county Cheng smiled: "Taishou, I have the best of both worlds, we can agree to Xiao Lan's request, but not really agree, we asked Xiao Lan to go and compete with the bandits first, and when the situation is favorable to us, we will collect the fruits of victory, if the situation is unfavorable, we will run away, so that there will be no harm."
"Haha, the county is a clever plan, a clever plan" Wang Taishou clapped his hands happily: "Eh, it's just that Xingyue Tower is also a well-known decent organization in the rivers and lakes, and we may offend the decent people in the rivers and lakes if we do this."
"Uh! Taishou, if Xiao Lan fails, can he come back alive and tell the story of today?"
Wang Taishou patted the chair and got up and said, "Okay!
"How about it, has Wang Taishou thought about it?" Xiao Lan thought that Wang Taishou would definitely send troops to help him in the face of Xingyue Tower, so this question was actually a reassuring pill for Wang Taishou, which made Wang Taishou even more determined by Xiao Lan.
"Haha, let Xiao Gongzi wait for a long time, I have already ordered five hundred school swordsmen, as long as Xiao Gongzi makes a word, you can set off at any time" Wang Taishou also made a righteous and awe-inspiring look.
After hearing this, Xiao Lan stepped forward and bowed deeply to Wang Taishou and said: "Wang Taishou cares about the people, it is really the blessing of the community, Xiao Lan thank you very much, let everyone rest and recuperate today and set off early tomorrow morning."
"Okay! It's all up to Xiao Gongzi's orders" Wang Taishou said loudly: "County Cheng, just follow Xiao Gongzi's orders."
"Hehe, there is Lao Wang Taishou, Xiao Lan will go back to rest, we will see you tomorrow morning" Xiao Lan bowed again and went down.
