Chapter 101: The Mysterious Jianghu Order
Lin Xiaoyue thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow is the day when Prince Jingnan will be torn to pieces. Let's also give Emperor Liang a great gift!"
Liang Jingyao asked curiously, "A great gift? What great gift?"
Lin Xiaoyue replied, "Rip the prison! Take Prince Jingnan away, and Emperor Liang's attention won't be focused on Yangming Town anymore!"
Liang Jingyao thought this was a good idea, but the execution would be carried out tomorrow and the scene would definitely be heavily guarded. How could he successfully snatch Prince Jingnan away?
"Yue'er, you take a rest. I'll be back soon."
Lin Xiaoyue grabbed him and asked cautiously, "You're not going to break out of the prison by yourself now, are you?"
Liang Jingyao laughed, rubbed her head, and explained: "How could that be? I know there is a Jianghu Order, with thousands of disciples who specialize in doing things for you for money, including murder and arson. I want them to help us break out of prison."
Lin Xiaoyue was very curious. She had read about this kind of mysterious organization in martial arts novels before, and she never thought she would encounter it after traveling through time. She was eager to go and take a look, "Brother Liang, take me with you, let me go and see it for myself!"
Liang Jingyao was a little hesitant. There were some bad rumors about Jianghu Order, and it was hard to tell whether they were true or not. So he persuaded: "Those people in the Jianghu have different temperaments. If I hurt you, I'd better go by myself. I'll be back soon!"
Lin Xiaoyue didn't want to stay here alone, so she pointed at the man's robe and said, "Look, I'm wearing men's clothes, and no one will mistake me for a woman. I'm just curious and want to take a look. When I get there, I'll definitely stand next to you without saying a word. I'll do whatever you ask me to do."
Liang Jingyao couldn't persuade Lin Xiaoyue, so he had no choice but to agree: "Okay, when you get there, you must follow me closely, don't look around, don't ask random questions."
Lin Xiaoyue agreed repeatedly: "Okay! I promise!"
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue was wearing thin clothes, Liang Jingyao went into the house and took out a cloak to put on her, "Let's go."
As he spoke, Liang Jingyao put his arms around Lin Xiaoyue's waist, tapped his toes lightly, and leaped up with a light Kung Fu move. A trail of afterimages passed by until they entered the capital. Liang Jingyao made a strange gesture, and then took Lin Xiaoyue to walk to the left, to the right and back, to jump, and to squat. Finally, a mansion appeared in the empty ruins in front of them. A plaque hung at the door with three powerful words "Jianghu Order" written on it.
Lin Xiaoyue seemed to smell the atmosphere of the Jianghu, and the classic music from the TV series "A Laugh in the Sea..." rang in her ears.
With an excited heart and trembling hands, she followed Liang Jingyao and knocked on the door, "Knock knock knock!"
The person who opened the door was an elderly man. The few teeth he had left made his cheeks sunken, making him look haggard and scary.
"What's the matter?" The old man hunched over, his eyes half-closed, not sure if he could see the person's appearance clearly.
Liang Jingyao took out a gold leaf and said, "I have something to ask you, Lord. Please lead the way."
The old man put away the gold leaves, invited Liang Jingyao and Lin Xiaoyue in, and after closing the door again, he stopped every three steps and walked towards Jinling Pavilion with difficulty.
Lin Xiaoyue finds everything new and interesting, so she is actually happier when she walks slower.
The courtyard of this Jianghu Order house was filled with houses of varying sizes, and the further in, the more exquisite the house became. The roadside was filled with exotic flowers and plants, including the peonies, camellias, and chrysanthemums that Lin Xiaoyue recognized, as well as many others she didn't. In short, this place could be considered a small palace.
Almost everything that is found in the imperial palace is also here. No wonder the Lord hid such a luxurious mansion with formations.
Being able to hide in the city in the capital is definitely a master among masters!
Just as Lin Xiaoyue was secretly admiring them, they had already entered the Jinling Pavilion.
Jinling Pavilion is located in the center of the entire Jianghu Ling Mansion. It is built magnificently, with green bricks and tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, and full of intrigues. In short, it is extremely luxurious. When you walk inside, your eyes are either attracted by the exquisite murals on the wall or the ornaments carved out of ingenious agate and jade. In short, it is dazzling!
The old man walked to the innermost room and stopped, gestured inside, and said, "Please come in, both of you!"
Liang Jingyao nodded and pulled Lin Xiaoyue in.
The room looked like a Buddhist temple, with three Bodhisattvas enshrined there. A man was sitting cross-legged on the bed against the wall. He had a shaved head and wore a pure white silk robe. He had a string of Buddhist beads around his neck and another string of smaller beads on his hands. He looked plump and kind.
"Greetings, Lord! I came here today to ask you something important." Liang Jingyao nodded and took out another hundred gold leaves and placed them on the tray on the table.
The Lord glanced at the gold leaves and chuckled, "So many gold leaves, it seems you're asking for something big!"
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "That's right. I hope Jianghu Ling can help me break out of prison tomorrow and rescue Prince Jingnan!"
The Lord raised his eyelids and asked, "Oh? Is this what Prince Jingnan meant?"
Liang Jingyao shook his head and said, "No, if you rescue the people from the capital, I will wait for you at Shilipo outside the city gate. After you succeed, I will give you a hundred gold leaves!"
The Lord rubbed the bracelet in his hand, and a bead flew into the wall, and the deal was done!
"Okay! The Bodhisattva is so merciful that he's willing to let me fulfill your wish. Tomorrow at Shilipu, I'll be waiting there with your gold leaf!"
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "Okay. Thank you, Lord!"
The Lord closed his eyes again. Liang Jingyao knew that the Lord was trying to chase people away, so he took Lin Xiaoyue out of the room.
The old man was still waiting outside. When he saw that Liang Jingyao and Lin Xiaoyue were both present, he turned around and walked towards the gate.
Arriving at the gate, the old man struggled to open it and said, "Please take care, both of you!"
Liang Jingyao nodded, "Thank you!", then pulled Lin Xiaoyue away from Jianghu Ling.
Just a few steps out of the courtyard gate, Lin Xiaoyue saw the street and the crowd. She looked back and saw that the Jianghu Ling’s mansion had disappeared out of thin air, replaced by ruins.
Restraining her curiosity, Lin Xiaoyue followed Liang Jingyao back to Yangming Town.
Sitting in the teahouse, Lin Xiaoyue finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Liang, what kind of formation does Jianghu Order use? It can actually make you invisible! If you can learn this, you can make a second Jianghu Order."
Liang Jingyao poured her a cup of throat-soothing tea and said with a smile, "How could I possibly know something so confidential? You've come so far, you should drink some water first to moisten your throat! Let's not talk about stories tonight, take a day off."
Lin Xiaoyue shook her head and refused, "I'm going to say this today. Maybe Ge Baoquan's men are still nearby, waiting for revenge. If they dare to come, I'll catch them all in one fell swoop! I, Lin Xiaoyue, will never give in just because of a little difficulty!"
