Chapter 144 Xie Lingjiang: Senior Brother Treats Me So Kindly

About half an hour ago…

Yan Liulang felt that he had made a great contribution.

Especially when Mingfu and Miss Xie walked out of the gate of Donglin Temple side by side.

He and the young police officers under him glanced at the “red mark” on the two men’s wrists in a very tacit understanding.

Inside the pavilion outside the gate, the eyes of all the catchers were relieved.

It’s not in vain that they drank the northwest wind at the gate for so long.

It was still Xiaoyan catcher who was considerate and didn’t bring them along with him.

All the arresting officers in the arresting squad exchanged glances silently, as if a big stone that was weighing on their hearts finally fell.

Facing the admiring gazes of his subordinates, Yan Liulang, holding the knife, couldn’t help puffing out his chest, and he was almost a proud akimbo.

No wonder people are so fussed.

These days, in the Longcheng County Yamen, except for the young county magistrate who is devoted to water control and only wants to ransack his home to raise money for disaster relief, everyone can see that there is something wrong with the new female teacher.

There have been statistics from interested scribes before, if the Ming government does not go out on weekdays, it handles official documents in the county government.

Mrs. Xie, who came to look for him so frequently, had to ask the officials of the county government at least 30 times a day, “Where is the big brother” and “Where is the big brother”.

As a result, certain gossip rumors spread like wildfire, and became the gossip that everyone focused on after dinner.

After all, plots such as a talented man and a beautiful woman, chasing after a beautiful woman, and a dull man are very popular wherever they are placed. They are not only eye-catching, but also aspirational blessings.

Therefore, when the young county magistrate suddenly had a bright head, he was able to sacrifice his ego to fulfill the greater ego, and he was obliged to give up his life to accompany the gentleman to solve the marriage problem of single junior sisters.

It also became the tacit expectation of everyone in the Longcheng County Yali.

At this moment, outside the gate of Donglin Temple.

Facing Mingfu and Miss Xie who were walking towards each other with the same red rope, Yan Liulang did not change his face, but he sighed with emotion in his heart.

Hey, fortunately the young master came here today, if Brother Ah Shan was here, he might have honestly followed the Ming Mansion into the house, and stuck between the Ming Mansion and Miss Xie as a red lantern…he thought to himself.

It’s just that after the two groups met, Yan Liulang discovered something strange.

Mingfu seems to be in a hurry.

It seems to be more vigorous and resolute than usual, leaving a sentence, just say go, and take the lead down the mountain:

“Let’s go down the mountain to pick up Lord Shen and Lord Wang.”

Yan Liulang and the others were taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly followed.

Xie Lingjiang, who had changed back into a sassy men’s attire, paused, looked back towards the direction of Donglin Temple, and said softly:
“Big Brother.”

“Huh?” Fairy Yucheng replied without turning her head.

Xie Lingjiang’s eye sockets were not as red as before. After experiencing the ups and downs not long ago, she seemed to have become a lot quieter.

At this time, I can’t help reminding:
“You haven’t retrieved the skirt knife yet.”

Fairy Yucheng frowned secretly, thinking that a woman in love is really troublesome, and she cares about the big and small things.

She helped her chin, with a smile on her face:
“When you changed your clothes just now, I told the monks in the temple to pick them up, but it’s not a big deal, it hasn’t been delivered yet.

“Junior Sister, it’s important to get down to business. Let’s go down the mountain to pick up the two adults. The monk in the temple will send the skirt knife back to Luming Street later. Don’t worry, Junior Sister, it won’t fall.”

“also……”

Facing Xie Lingjiang’s steadfast gaze, Fairy Yucheng forced a smile on her face, but in her heart she was very dissatisfied with Liu Liu Liu Qi and others’ slow efficiency in taking out the knife.

Fairy Yucheng glanced at the sky calmly.

The time for her to pretend to be Ouyang Lianghan is limited each time, and her aura can’t last for too long, and she might change if she delays.

Immediately decided not to stay any longer, and left without hesitation.

Fairy Yucheng spoke in a businesslike tone, and gave some instructions to Yan Liulang and the others before turning around and leading them down the mountain.

Behind, Xie Lingjiang looked away from the direction of Donglin Temple, glanced at the red rope on the wrist of the “big brother” sleeve, and then looked down at the red rope in her own hand.

This noble lady of the Xie family pursed her lips, raised her head and strode forward to keep up with the large army.

Right now, Xie Lingjiang couldn’t sense the skirt knife.

So I don’t know the approximate location of the skirt knife.

Because not long ago in the dark alley when I presented the skirt knife to the elder brother.

Xie Lingjiang locked onto the senior brother’s unique energy mechanism, and then executed a certain heart formula that was matched with the technique of cultivating equipment, silently cutting off most of the traction of the skirt knife to his mind.

The wisp of thought that was warmed in the skirt knife only firmly remembered the unique aura of the elder brother.

Only when he recognizes his aura—that is, only when the skirt knife is in the hands of the elder brother himself—can he bridge his mind with her and send mysterious feedback across the air.

In addition, if anyone other than the senior brother gets the skirt knife, the skirt knife will not be able to bridge Xie Lingjiang’s mind.

Her heart is like a flat lake, there is no wave, and she can’t feel it.

The reason for doing this is that Xie Lingjiang has a strong mental cleanliness, of course, only for certain people.

Although the skirt knife has been presented to the elder brother, and she also believes that the elder brother will wear it properly.

But in the future, it is inevitable that he will be contacted by other close people around him, such as the alien maid with strange silver hair.

He couldn’t have a reaction at that time, and mistakenly thought that the elder brother was thinking about her, right?
Xie Lingjiang couldn’t afford to lose this person…

Ouyang Rong, who was disguised as a fairy of Yucheng, brought Xie Lingjiang, Yan Liulang and others all the way down the mountain.

At the foot of Dagu Mountain, after re-boarding the carriage, the group hurried to Shili Pavilion on the outskirts of the city.

It was very close to the agreed pick-up time.

As we all know, the waterway is faster than the land way, which not only saves time but also saves effort.

The reason why Mr. Shen, Mr. Wang and other Jiangzhou officials didn’t come to Longcheng directly by water.

It was because these two adults did not just go straight to Longcheng by boat from Jiangzhou.

Attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony in Longcheng County was just the finale of their trip.

There will be two stops on the way, and we will stop for a while in other disaster-stricken counties passing by for inspection, and finally take a horse-drawn carriage to Longcheng County.

In addition, the itineraries of such senior officials are kept secret.

For the sake of safety, the official document passed to the Longcheng county government, and what Ouyang Rong and others knew was only when to arrive and where to arrange to meet him.

Otherwise, if it is arranged according to the most convenient route.

Then Ouyang Rong would probably change the pick-up location to Songlindu.

That is, the new ferry that will be the starting point of Zhayi Canal.

First of all, because Songlin Ferry is very close to Dagu Mountain, it is convenient to drop by.

Secondly, Ouyang Rong and his party can directly take a boat to the Digong Gate of Yuenv Gorge after receiving the Jiangzhou Shangguan at Songlindu, which is convenient and quick.

Instead of going to Shiliting on the outskirts of the city to pick up people, and then going back to Penglangdu in the city to take a boat.

However, looking at it now, the delay in this “unnecessary action” is not long.

Because of various reasons, Zhanyi Canal has not been fully opened.

Even if a group of people take a boat at Songlindu, they still have to take the winding old river of Butterfly Creek as before.

It bypassed the entire Longcheng county once.

Not much time saved.

Unless the new canal is fully opened.

Zheyi Canal starts from Yedu Wharf in Shaojia Village in the south and ends at Songlindu in the north.

The whole course of the river is straight.

No need to strenuously bypass Longcheng County.

This is a real time saver.

It’s a pity that Zheyi Canal was suddenly stopped by the young county magistrate after the completion of the first phase, and there has been no movement until now…

Fairy Yucheng didn’t think so much, and pretended to be Ouyang Lianghan, she buried her head on the road all the way.

During the whole process, I tried to talk as little as possible with Xie Lingjiang, Yan Liulang and others to avoid revealing my secrets.

Finally, a group of people came to Shili Pavilion on the outskirts of the city. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, they looked around and saw a group of carriages slowly approaching on the official road in the distance, and approached again.

The meeting between the two groups was nothing special.

It’s just the usual polite greetings between officials at the upper and lower levels.

Supervisor Shen Xisheng, Mr. Shen was still dressed in a crimson official uniform, and he was dressed in a simple and rustic style.

The new Jiangzhou Inspector Wang Lengran is about the same age as Shen Xisheng, around 50 or [-] years old, and also has a crimson official uniform of similar grade.

He also has a beautiful beard, but he likes to glance at people with his eyes, his demeanor is quite cold and arrogant, and he seems to speak little.

Maybe there were outsiders present, but they didn’t talk too much, they just boarded the carriage and left.

A young county magistrate smiled and said politely: “Master Shen, Mr. Wang, please get in the car!”

“Master Wang please first.” Shen Xisheng turned his head.

Wang Lengran nodded and entered the carriage first.

Shen Xisheng followed after him. Before getting into the car, he took a second look at the well-known Longcheng magistrate with interest, but he didn’t say anything immediately.

However, a rather unexpected episode was that the young county magistrate did not go to share a carriage with Xie Lingjiang and Yan Liulang.

Instead, board the carriage of Lord Shen and Lord Wang.

Behind, Xie Lingjiang and Yan Liulang couldn’t help but look at each other.

The former was silent.

The latter is Yan Liulang’s discovery that after receiving the guests, a certain young county magistrate seemed to have a colder attitude towards them.

It seems that he has entered the state of business affairs. Thinking about it this way, Yan Liulang didn’t think it was so strange.

After all, various times in the past have proved that the various decisions of the Ming government may appear a little outrageous before they are implemented, but the final results are obvious to all.

But what happened soon made Yan Liulang fall into doubts again.

A group of people rushed to Penglangdu Wharf.

A boat that had already been prepared was docked at a conspicuous position on the shore.

In the past, Yan Liulang, who had long been accustomed to come here to take a boat to Penglangdu, commanded and dispatched from the shore.

He was just about to turn around and follow behind the two Jiangzhou Shangguan and the Ming Mansion, leading the brothers to board the boat together.

As a result, he was immediately stopped by two scribes who came down from the boat.

“Xiaoyan catches the head, please stop.” The scribe said politely.

“What are you doing, what’s the matter?” Yan Liulang asked curiously.

“Master Mingfu ordered you and the arresting squad to stay in the county, do your job well, guard the county government, and you don’t have to go to the Digong gate today.” The clerk explained.

Yan Liulang was stunned for a moment, and then he said, “Is this what Mingfu said?”

The scribe nodded.

Yan Liulang wanted to speak, but his gaze immediately met the frowning gaze of a young county magistrate at the bow.

The latter was chatting with the two Shangguan at the bow of the boat at the moment, looking sideways from time to time, paying attention to the direction of Yan Liulang and others under the boat.

“Okay… okay.”

Yan Liulang, who was used to obeying the Ming government, had no choice but to nod honestly, and said helplessly to the scribe:
“Mingfu’s arrangement is naturally correct…then let Miss Xie follow.”

The headhunter in blue was actually puzzled. Didn’t the Ming government arrange a big move at the Digong gate today? Why didn’t they bring people over there? Is it enough that Brother Ashan is there?

The clerk who ordered the order heard the muttered words behind him, shook his head slightly, and said nothing.

But under Yan Liulang’s confused gaze, the scribe turned and walked straight to Xie Lingjiang who was also preparing to board the ship not far away.

The latter was also startled, and stopped in his tracks.

“Thank you girl, please stay.”

The clerk also conveyed an order from the young county magistrate, asking the female teacher to guard in the county seat.

Seeing that Xie Lingjiang and Yan Liulang were both stunned for a while, and there was no objection, the two scribes rushed back to reply.

a while.

At Penglang Watanabe, a large ship slowly moved towards Yuenv Gorge.

On the shore, only Xie Lingjiang and Yan Liulang were left frowning.

The two turned their heads to look at each other.

The air was silent for a while.

Yan Liulang walked away with a wry smile.

Xie Lingjiang suddenly turned his head and looked east.

Yan Liulang looked curiously, following her frowned gaze.

There is the direction of Dagu Mountain on the outskirts of the city.

……

After a stick of incense.

On Butterfly Creek.

On the prow of a certain large ship, there was a young county magistrate standing with his hands behind his back blowing the wind, raising his hand from time to time to support his chin.

Fairy Yucheng squinted her eyes slightly, feeling extraordinarily relaxed.

Although there was a heavy mirage mask on her face, and wearing it, she always subconsciously gave her the illusion that the mask was about to fall off.

Get her used to holding her up often.

But just now she was able to get rid of the two hidden dangers that were most likely to see through her in one fell swoop. This kind of smooth sailing still puts Fairy Yuxi in a good mood.

That infatuated daughter of the Xie family and the catcher surnamed Yan really listened to Ouyang Lianghan’s words, and they were sent away so easily, and she didn’t even use the words she had prepared

It’s a pity that Ouyang Lianghan is really dead, and Liu Liu and Liu Qi have probably cleaned up the body. The murderous swordsman named A Jie has already left with his sword.

For the time being, the female fairy Yuji, who bears the identity of Ouyang Lianghan, doesn’t know whether to laugh or sigh.

But right now, being nervous and cautious all the way, she finally managed to get rid of Xie Lingjiang and others who were most familiar with Ouyang Lianghan, and the risk of being hurt by the ribbon-cutting ceremony was immediately reduced by more than half.

Now the only ones beside Fairy Yucheng are Shen, Wang and others who are not familiar with the original people, and they are not afraid of talking too much and they will be easily revealed.

“What is Lianghan thinking?” Just then, a voice came from behind her.

Fairy Yucheng looked back and saw Shen Xisheng who was vaguely familiar with her for some reason.

“I’m thinking about the ribbon-cutting ceremony later, Mr. Shen, I have already made arrangements for you, please wait and see later.”

“Oh? Then I’m looking forward to it even more. We need to take a good look at Lianghan’s arrangements.” Shen Xisheng seemed to have thought of something, and his tone was meaningful.

Fairy Yucheng nodded with a smile, and took another look at Mr. Shen who was almost dead in her eyes. Immediately, she found an excuse to back down.

Fairy Yucheng turned and left the bow, ready to go back to the cabin to rest for a while, but just halfway on the way, she heard a “bang” from the stern of the ship.

Her face changed in an instant: “Thank you… little junior sister, you… why did you follow?”

Ahead, a figure in red jumped onto the stern lightly, it was Xie Lingjiang with a calm expression.

And behind the big ship under his feet, there is a smaller Lanzhou that is stopping and docking.

Xie Lingjiang said directly: “Senior brother, I still feel that I have to go there with you.”

Immortal Yucheng’s eyelids twitched wildly in secret, but her face was serious, showing a look of displeasure after being violated:

“No, Senior Brother, didn’t I send someone to talk to you just now? How can I make my own opinion? Little Junior Sister is not listening to Senior Brother?”

Xie Lingjiang stared at the person in front of him, and said seriously: “Of course you are obedient, but the senior brother promised me in the carriage that day, the dragon city is not peaceful these days, the Liu family may be in a hurry, the senior brother will let the junior sister stay by your side all the time, Eldest brother… have you forgotten?”

And this thing?real or fake?Fairy Yucheng frowned secretly, her face was silent, and she didn’t speak for a while.

“Eldest brother is very good, why don’t you let me come?” Xie Lingjiang asked suddenly.

Fairy Yucheng forced a smile and said, “I’m worried about my junior sister. I hurt you when I did something wrong not long ago. Seeing that you looked haggard and didn’t talk much on the way back, I wanted you to stay in the county and rest for a while.”

Xie Lingjiang didn’t reply immediately, her eyes fell on the very familiar face of the elder brother in front of her, and after a while, she suddenly smiled:
“Senior brother is so kind to me… I have never been so kind, but you and I have already put on the red rope, and my junior sister has to follow the senior brother. I… am very worried about the safety of the senior brother… It’s settled! “

As the words fell, Xie Ling Jiang Shan stepped forward and followed closely behind her.

“…” Fairy Yucheng’s smile froze.
