Chapter 196: The Gardener
Without further ado, Yang Que did not dare to delay.
He returned to the cave mansion, told Miaomiao about the general situation, and then took Zhang Jian and left in a hurry.
After a short time, the two came to the snow orchard.
There were two guards with grim expressions standing at the gate of the orchard, the spirit sword in their hands was cold, and their spirits were always in a state of high concentration.
Since the death of a few fruit trees in the orchard for no apparent reason, the owner of the orchard has stepped up his management, sending excellent guards everywhere and keeping an eye on the movements everywhere.
When guarding the orchard, they worked even harder, for fear that if they were not careful, they would also follow in the footsteps of Chang Lin, and be beaten and executed.
So when the two guards saw Yang Que and Zhang Jian walking towards this side, their expressions suddenly turned grim and their faces were full of vigilance.
"Two fellow Daoists, we are going to go in to meet your garden master, can you open the wooden door?" Zhang Jian stepped forward and said cautiously.
"See our owner, who are you, do you have a token?" the two guards looked at him indifferently, not letting their guard down in the slightest.
Zhang Jian hurriedly pointed at Yang Que and said: "This Taoist friend is a friend of the owner of the garden, he came here to say something to the owner of the garden, and we also remembered it temporarily, and we didn't get a token." ”
"No tokens?" The guard on the left glanced at him indifferently and waved his hand, "Then leave quickly, we only recognize the tokens, no matter who you are." ”
When Zhang Jian heard this, he was a little anxious, and said: "Fellow Daoist, you can be accommodating, we really have something urgent to see the owner." ”
"No, no. Let's go, not everyone can come in here, and not everyone can see our gardener. The guard on the right shouted.
Zhang Jian was helpless. I had to turn over my hand and take out two superb magic weapons, handed them over flatteringly, and said, "Two Taoist friends, help, we really have something urgent, and we can't delay." ”
The two guards glanced at the magic weapon in his hand, and a flash of greed flashed in their eyes. But it soon disappeared, thinking of the consequences of the guard named Chang Lin, where did the two of them dare to joke with their lives.
"Didn't you hear if you let you go? You think you can bribe us with two supreme magic weapons? You have ill intentions and want to kill us!" the two guards suddenly looked heavy when they thought of the consequences, and raised their spirit swords in their hands. Prepare to drive away.
Zhang Jian saw that their attitude was so tough. Suddenly a little desperate, he put away the magic weapon in a daze, and looked at Yang Que with some frustration.
Yang Que sighed, and was also a little helpless, although he knew the owner of the garden, he didn't know these people, and he couldn't contact the owner of the garden immediately, and the two of them didn't think of these things at all when they came. Now it seems, don't talk about meeting the owner. I can't even go into the orchard.
"Senior Brother Yang, what should we do? Why don't we just stand here and wait?" Zhang Jian said with a bitter face.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two guards immediately shouted coldly: "Think beautiful! This is not where you can stand, get out of here quickly, don't stand here and be an eyesore!"
Looking at the spirit sword raised by the two of them, Zhang Jian sighed and was about to leave, but saw Yang Que frowning and said, "We are standing here and waiting for people, and we are not hindering you in anything, why are we so deceitful!"
The two guards glanced at him, and one of them sneered: "What about bullying you? If you don't have the ability, don't be embarrassed, just say a word, just want to go in, do you think we are fools? Tell you, this is a place where people with connections and status can enter, look at your poor and sour appearance, I'm afraid that I haven't even eaten a spirit fruit until now." ”
"Hmph, don't talk about eating, I'm afraid he hasn't even seen it, otherwise why would he want to sneak in now. It's ridiculous, and you dare to say that you know our gardener, the owner of the garden, the owner of the garden, even we haven't met a few times, just by virtue of you, you are qualified to say that you know him?" said the other with a sneering face.
"Hehe, people didn't say that just now, they said they were friends of our owner. Tsk, look at this, it sounds so scary, we're so scared. ”
"Hahaha......"
The two laughed and looked at Yang Que with disdain.
At this moment, in the snow orchard, Bai Ming passed by with a team of patrolling monks, and just happened to see Yang Que standing outside.
Since knowing the terrifying background of Yang Que that day, Bai Ming's attitude towards Yang Que couldn't be better, and that day he and the owner of the Snow Orchard took a basket of spiritual fruits to personally go to his cave to make amends.
Yang Que was also quite polite to him, and he didn't embarrass him in front of the owner of the garden at all, so Bai Ming was still very grateful in his heart.
Seeing Yang Que at this time, he also heard two guards speaking disrespectfully to him, Bai Ming's face suddenly sank, and he rushed over with his men and horses.
"Captain Bai is here!" The two guards were taunting Yang Que, and suddenly felt a chill behind them, turned their heads to look, and suddenly their faces changed, and they hurriedly stood up, and at the same time raised the spirit sword in their hands, and shouted at Yang Que and Zhang Jian with a cold face: "Two, not everyone can come in here, I advise you to leave quickly, don't say that you casually talk nonsense that you know our garden owner, even if you really know each other, without the token and the garden owner's order, we will definitely not let you in!"
The two of them had loud voices, speaking righteous words, and looked at each other at the same time, secretly proud in their hearts, feeling that after seeing Bai Ming, they would definitely praise them, and maybe they would say a few kind words in front of the gardener.
The two of them were dreaming of a beautiful fantasy in their hearts, and Bai Ming suddenly jumped up, raised his palm and opened the bow left and right, "Bang! Bang!", one of them gave them three loud slaps, which instantly shattered the dream of the two of them, and they were completely stunned.
"White ...... Captain Bai ......" The two of them covered their hot cheeks and looked at him with panic on their faces, not knowing where they offended him.
Bai Ming didn't even look at them, walked directly in front of Yang Que, bowed first, and then said apologetically: "Senior Brother Yang, why are you here, these two things are not long-sighted, junior brother don't care, I will report to the owner of the garden and punish them fiercely." ”
When the two guards heard this, their bodies trembled, and their faces turned like earth.
Yang Que saw him coming. Fang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Senior Brother Bai, I have some urgent matters and want to see the garden master. I wonder if it's convenient now?"
"It's convenient, why isn't it convenient! The owner of the garden also instructed me yesterday to take you in to play when I have nothing to do recently. Let's go, I'll take you to the owner. Bai Ming heard that Yang Que was in a hurry, so he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly led the way in front. At the same time, he said to those subordinates: "You go to patrol first, and I will take Senior Brother Yang to see the owner of the garden, and by the way, I will pick a basket of spiritual fruits in the orchard." Let Senior Brother Yang take it back to taste, so it may be later, so be vigilant yourself. ”
"Yes!" the patrolling monks respectfully agreed, and turned to leave.
"This is Senior Brother Zhang. Please. Bai Ming glanced at Zhang Jian in a friendly manner. Stretching out his hand, he waited for Yang Que and Zhang Jian to enter the orchard before he followed behind, and then led the way in front.
The two guards stayed in place with pale faces, looking at each other, thinking about Bai Ming's attitude and what he said to Yang Que just now, they were frightened, and their legs began to weaken.
It can make the owner remember in his busy schedule. And can come in at will to pick a basket of spirit fruits, such a character. It's like those awesome royal guards.
I'm afraid those royal guards don't have this treatment.
The two of them were full of remorse, and they wanted to slap themselves a few times.
In the snow orchard, the fragrance is pervasive, the fruits are abundant, and the aura is pure and overflowing.
Bai Ming walked on the path with the two of them, and at the same time accompanied Yang Que to talk, his attitude was very cautious.
Not long after, in the center of the orchard, in a delicate pavilion, the two met the owner of the white robe.
The owner of the garden was tall, a middle-aged man with Tianfu realm cultivation, and he was sitting in the small pavilion at this time, frowning, thinking about things.
When he saw Bai Ming coming with Yang Que, he hurriedly stood up, greeted the small pavilion, and said with enthusiasm on his face: "Senior Brother Yang, how are you doing lately? ”
Because Yang Que's identity is relatively special, these people generally call him junior brother, unless Han Bing is present like that time, Han Bing calls him junior brother, and others can only call him senior.
When meeting him alone, there is generally no such evasion.
"Thank you for your concern, the younger generation came today, and there is something to trouble the owner. Yang Que knew the difference in strength between the two, although the other party respected him, but he would not kick his nose in the face, and still called himself a junior.
"Senior Brother Yang and I are still polite, but it doesn't matter, as long as the old man can help, he will definitely not refuse. When the owner heard this, he was arrogant.
Bai Ming hurriedly bowed down and said, "Garden master, the junior will retire first." He heard that Yang Que had something to ask the owner for help, so he naturally didn't dare to listen to it, and hurriedly wanted to retreat.
Yang Que said: "Senior Brother Bai, you don't have to avoid it, I also want to hear your opinion on this matter." ”
"Oh?" Bai Ming was a little puzzled when he heard this, and said, "What is it?"
Yang Que glanced at Zhang Jian, who couldn't wait on the side, and didn't beat around the bush, and said directly to the owner of the garden: "I have a friend who used to be the guard of your garden, but a few days ago because a few trees died in the orchard, he was implicated, and he may be executed in a few days." ”
"The person Senior Brother Yang said is called Chang Lin, right?" When the owner of the garden heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, he didn't expect the relationship between the two to be so good, Yang Que actually interceded in person.
"Yes, his name is Chang Lin, and I know what happened that night, and he really can't get out of it, but I still hope that the owner of the garden can help him and save him from the death penalty. Yang Que arched his hand and pleaded.
"This matter ......" The owner frowned slightly, was silent for a moment, Fang smiled bitterly, and said: "Senior Brother Yang, in fact, I really want to help you, I know that thing is a little weird, no matter which guard was there that night, it will not help, so speaking of which, Chang Lin is indeed a little wronged." ”
Speaking of this, he paused and said a little apologetically: "However, I really can't do anything about this matter, it is not our Snow Orchard that will punish him with death, but the law enforcement team, those people are very cold, let alone me, even if Han Bing Daoyou said it in the past, he will definitely not give the slightest face, unless he ......"
"Unless what?" Yang Que's heart moved slightly.
The owner of the garden shook his head, laughed at himself, and said, "Unless there is an existence higher than the royal guard, but a person with that status will definitely not care about the life or death of a low-level guard." ”
When Zhang Jian heard this, his heart suddenly sank and he fell into despair. (To be continued......)
