The leader of the lead was very frightened when he saw Xu Bucheng's angry face, but he didn't know that he was a cadre under Xu Bucheng, and in order to mobilize the army to perform special tasks, he was specially placed in the name of the head of the palace guard to a subordinate of the local army, so the first thing he had to think about at this time was naturally the intention of the above. Hearing this, the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info immediately knelt down and explained:
"This is a flower thief who has not been caught by the government, everything small is all under orders, and there is a picture of the arrest of the criminal as evidence. โ
Xu Bucheng pointed to Xiang Xingying and said to him:
"Since the images are somewhat similar...... You can't be blamed for that, but you must have mistaken someone. Since ancient times, it has been about catching traitors and catching thieves and catching stolen goods, and you are too hasty to take people down just by the approximation of the outside?"
"The subordinates only know that they will arrest people according to the map, and as for whether this person is the flower thief, it can only be determined after the interrogation after going back. The leader defended himself.
"How can my family Xiang Gongzi do those dirty things, there are many people in the world who look similar, and they can't be convicted by looking alike, right?" Xu Bucheng said this, his tone suddenly became very tough, and he shouted: "You hurry up and release him for me, I can't guarantee him with my personal reputation, and if there is any responsibility afterwards, I can't bear it alone!"
"This ......" The leader of the officers and soldiers seemed to be a little embarrassed.
"Why, don't you even dare to believe my words?"
The leader of the leading officers and soldiers hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand to his subordinates and said:
"Since Lord Xu is a guarantor, you don't want to let people go quickly. โ
When the officers and soldiers let go of Xiang Xingying and were about to leave, Xu Bufang took out two gold ingots weighing five taels from his arms, threw them to the leader, and then ordered:
"Although everyone has caught the wrong person at the moment, there is no credit and hard work. It did take a lot of effort, and you took the money to ask everyone to have fun in a nearby hotel, which can be regarded as making up for everyone's hard work in the past two days. As for the government, I'll just explain it afterwards. โ
"Thank you, Lord for the reward. โ
The chieftain was worried about the loss of the culprit and not getting a reward, and after receiving the ingots, he immediately smiled, although there were many people in the group, how could they get two gold ingots? One of them was obviously a reward for himself, so he immediately led the team to rush back to the garrison. After the team walked away, Xu Bucheng hurriedly jumped off the horse, and first bowed down and hugged his fists and said to Xiang Xingying:
"The old man is the chief disciple of the overlord, and he is your grandfather's most powerful assistant. Today, I was ordered by the emperor to go to the south on an errand, but I didn't expect to meet the prince here. โ
Xiang Xingying thought that after being caught by the officers and soldiers, there would be no life, and his life had come to an end, but he was suddenly rescued and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile, and hugged his fists and bowed down to thank him:
"Since he is my grandfather's apprentice, he can be the same as my father's generation, and the younger generation is here to thank the seniors for saving their lives. โ
"Alasโthe family doesn't speak two languages. I'm not welcome to be in the same family. I see that since you have a portrait that has been arrested by the government, you might as well change into official clothes now, and simply pretend to be my subordinate, and I will add a name to your roster in the future, so that you will naturally not be afraid of anyone disturbing. Since then, Xiang Gongzi has become a royal guard. You think that's good?"
"It's all up to the seniors. โ
Xiang Xingying Lian Lian agreed. In the past year or so, although he has been doing misdeeds everywhere, he has set up nets to chase him everywhere like being beaten by a rabbit, and Xiang Xingying has unconsciously regarded the world everywhere as a rumor, and the grass and trees are all soldiers. Now that the two female companions have been killed, and suddenly there is such a chance to be reborn, how can he let it go. And praised again and again:
"There's no better way to do it. My predecessors can be regarded as my reborn parents. โ
"Alasโyou can't say that, little master. Although the old man is old, the etiquette between us cannot be wrong. It's just for the perfunctory past in front of outsiders in the future, on the surface, you can call me Lord Xu, after all, is the old man still a royal five-grade sword guard. Privately, you are still my little master. โ
Speaking of which, Xu Buzheng ordered his subordinates to change clothes with Xiang Xingying, and personally supervised and inspected all the clothes that Xiang Xingying had changed. The fields were secluded and there was no one around, and after the two men exchanged clothes, the four of them rode together on two horses and began to gallop south.
Since he didn't find what Xu Bucheng wanted in the process of changing clothes, Xu Bucheng couldn't help but be very anxious, and finally couldn't hold it back, Xu Bucheng began to ask Xiang Xingying carefully what he had been doing in the past two days? Xiang Xingying regarded the other party as a benefactor at this time, and couldn't help but explain all the things he had suffered from ghosts and lonely ghosts in the mountains.
Xu Bucheng was very shocked when he heard this, and repeatedly asked to verify the details, and deduced whether he really handed over the "Mo Evil Idle Record" to the ghost and lonely ghost? In the face of such a shrewd character, Xiang Xingying did not dare to lie, so he could only explain the truth. Xu Bucheng recalled the whole process of changing clothes with his subordinates, and indeed did not find any books, and he couldn't help but regret it in private.
I didn't expect that I was clever this time, but I was mistaken by being smart, and I played too much, and I carefully designed a scam, although I deceived the master, I actually cheapened the bad thing of the ghost and lonely ghost. Xu Bucheng could only complain secretly at this time, and he was no longer interested in saying a word to Xiang Xingying. Xiang Xingying was inexplicable because of this sudden cold reception, and he didn't know which sentence he offended him. Confused in private?
In any case, Xiang Xingying has a home for the time being, and with official clothes as a cover, he has temporarily jumped out of the fire pit. But as the younger brother Zhong Ming who also looks good, there have been a series of disasters recently, and his brother has temporarily escaped, and he has become the only target of the government to arrest him, and he has been rounded up everywhere.
Zhong Ming was very troubled by this, although he had the understanding of his companions, but he was still depressed in his heart with such a "trumped-up" charge all day long. At this time, Master Mo happened to get the information, and someone came from the mouth of the four evil spirits in the border city: Someone was in an inaccessible place in the northeast, and he had seen a person practicing the martial arts of the Mo evil sect.
When the news came, everyone speculated that the "Mo Evil Idle Record" might have been lost there. When Master Mo heard about it, he wanted to go and check it out in person, but he couldn't leave the Central Plains because he had something to do right now, so he hesitated. Since that verification incident in the woods, although Zhong Ming's innocence has been recognized by martial arts people, his suspicion of Zhong Ming has been lifted.
But the government ignored that and continued to entangle and round up Zhong Ming and his group. Zhong Ming was very happy after hearing the news, and just took this opportunity to go north to work for his grandmother, and temporarily get rid of the current embarrassing situation in the name of tracking down "Mo Xie Idle Records". Moreover, he was already tired of the battle between the two major groups in the martial arts, so he specially proposed to his grandmother:
"Tired of the current situation of being repeatedly admitted and explained, Sun Er wanted to take refuge in the mountains for a while, so that he could practice his immature exercises. By the way, you can also help grandma find out the whereabouts of the "Mo Ye Leisure Record". I wonder if grandma can say yes?"
Mrs. Mo was also troubled by her grandson's embarrassing situation recently, and after thinking about it, she had to agree:
"Since you have these thoughts, you go for it. But it's always good to have a companion by your side. โ
Yi Hui and Xing'er expressed their willingness to go to the deep mountains and old forests with him to be companions at the same time, Mo Xie Master is too a person from the past, and at this time, he had already seen through the hearts of the two girls, and when he nodded in agreement, he couldn't help but sigh and said:
"That's fine. However, you are still young, and you must understand everything: everything is determined by heaven, and you must not force everything related to the word 'fate', as long as everything is done as it comes. โ
The three of them thanked Mo for the admonition of the evil master, and then searched all the way north. Yi Hui and Zhong Ming accompanied the strange boss to almost all over the many places of interest in the south of the Yangtze River, knowing that the south of the Yangtze River was gorgeous and lively. Although there are few tourists, the nature is just as amazing.
After more than half a month, according to the goal of the information provider, they traveled all the way to the Daxinganling area before deciding to stay here for the time being. The three of them have lived in the Central Plains for a long time, and they feel very fresh about the local life in the ice and snow, and besides, it is far away from the crowd society, which is refreshing, and it is an excellent place to practice.
As early as on the way here, Zhong Ming listened to Yi Hui's advice, and the three of them had prepared a lot of necessary utensils and materials for winter life in advance, and were ready to live here for a long time. Moreover, compared with a few years ago, the three of them have made great progress in adapting to the environment and survivability.
The winter climate in the Great Khing'an Mountains is very cold, but there is no shortage of wild animals in the mountains and forests. The three of them made their home in a cave, and after going out to hunt wild beasts, they stored the meat and took its skin for a coat, but they did not find it difficult. This kind of hunter-like life is also very interesting, more than a year has passed, and although the three of them have changed a lot of residences, they have found nothing about the "Mo Evil Leisure Record".
Originally, everyone was trying to avoid the entanglement of the government, and as for whether or not they could find the book was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and now they can only try their luck. On this day, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the three of them saw that there was not much meat stored in the cave, so they went out hunting together. During the hunt, Apricot first spotted a wild boar and wounded its hind leg with a dart, and the three of them immediately chased it all the way back.
Unexpectedly, the injured wild boar ran away like madness, and actually broke into a woods with thick snow everywhere, but fortunately there were footprints in front of him to guide the way, and everyone did not feel anxious. Who knew that the wild boar in front of him suddenly rolled down a steep slope and lost its obvious trace for a while, so the three of them had to slowly look for it in the snow nest according to the traces of the wild boar rolling down.
Just as the three of them were carefully pursuing, there was a sudden sound of someone running and stepping on the snow in front of them, and the three of them had not seen the same kind for a long time, and they couldn't help but be a little frightened after hearing this, so they had to lie on the ground and watch. In the blink of an eye, the three of them suddenly saw a large monk hurrying towards them, only to see him looking flustered and panting, and the blood on his chest stained his jacket red.
Seeing this, Zhong Ming couldn't help jumping out of his hiding place, and then exclaimed:
"Uncle Master!"
Hearing this, the running man suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Zhong Ming carefully for a while, then rubbed his eyes, and still asked in disbelief:
"Is it the old man who is dazzled, or is it really ...... Are you Zhong Mingxian's nephew?"
Zhong Ming hurriedly greeted him and said:
"Not bad...... It's true, it's me. Master Bo. โ
"Why did you end up here?"
"Alasโit's hard to put into words. But why is the master running so flustered today?"
Hearing this, the great monk couldn't help but glance back, and then explained with palpitations:
"The old man met a wicked man over there, and he was not his opponent when he fought him. The old man guarded against his 'cold arrows in his sleeves' everywhere, but he didn't expect this old guy to suddenly use a trick Guanyin to subdue the third form: 'Sweeping thousands of armies'. He was injured because he was unprepared. Now that the bad guy is coming from behind, it is better not to show his face, lest he kill him. โ
Without waiting for Zhong Ming to say something, Yi Hui couldn't help but ask:
"Master, what are you talking about...... This Guanyin demon subduing move is the original creation of the family teacher, and the person who practiced it is no more than my sisters. Are you always dazzled to say that?"
The great monk had already recognized this person as Yi Hui, the third disciple of Master Moxie, at this time, so he said:
"Although Lao G's martial arts are unproductive, he has a good memory, and he never forgets the martial arts moves he has seen. It was from you that I met him for the first time. Has the little girl forgotten the trick you used to protect Zhong Ming from the Eagle Claw Demon King in front of the Wolong Villa?"
In order to confirm that what the monk saw was correct, Yi Hui couldn't help but briefly rehearse the third move of the Guanyin Demon Subduing Style to the other party. The great monk nodded in approval, and then pointed out the differences:
"Although the moves are the same, the body method is not the same, and the old man seems to be more oily than you. โ
The three of them couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, and they were excited about each other, but they didn't expect that this was originally Zhong Mingchong's excuse to leave the Central Plains, but now there is hope of cracking it. I don't know who practiced this skill, everyone couldn't help but be suspicious, Zhong Ming has always regarded the great monk as his own relative, seeing that he is so embarrassed at the moment, he can't help but ask angrily:
"What kind of person is so evil, not to mention hurting the master, but also chasing and beating hard, and asking for people's lives?"
"Ghost Lonely Ghost...... Have you heard of this man?"
Zhong Ming wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he heard a shout from afar:
"What kind of person is so bold and presumptuous, he dares to shout the old man's old nickname behind his back, I think you are impatient!"
