Chapter 74 Undercurrent Surges Crazily
When the red shadow left, its figure was erratic, like a ghost, it flew quietly into Yuhang Town and landed inside the wall of the county government office. Then it stepped firmly on the ground and walked quickly.
It turned out to be a woman in a red dress, and she looked quite charming from behind.
As soon as she stepped through the moon gate in the backyard, two night patrol constables came towards her.
"Hey, Miss Bai Ling, are you out so late?" The constable immediately greeted her warmly.
The woman's eyes were charming, and she lowered her head shyly, "No, I just wanted to go to the front yard to check on my father, but I found that he was not there, so I came back."
"Mr. Bai Jian? I saw him just now. Maybe he is in his room?"
"Thank you very much."
The woman bowed tenderly and walked away slowly.
The two detectives looked at her graceful, twisting back, and only withdrew their gazes reluctantly after she turned away.
"Miss Bai Ling is so pretty." The constable on the left said obsessedly.
"Yes, there's an indescribable smell, very tempting." The constable on the right echoed.
"I think she is more beautiful than Miss Gongsun." The constable on the left said again.
"Hmm?" The constable on the right frowned. "Don't talk nonsense. Miss Gongsun is a fairy we all recognize."
The constable on the left muttered, "I'm not recognized... I think Miss Bai Ling's eyebrows, eyes, and facial features are perfect, and her figure is better than Miss Gongsun's."
The constable on the right shouted, "Bullshit! I just think her face doesn't look natural. And Miss Gongsun just doesn't often wear clothes that show off her figure, and she doesn't shake her hips when she walks!"
The constable on the left was also angry and said, "Anyway, she is beautiful. No matter what you say, she is prettier than Miss Gongsun!"
The constable on the right said angrily, "Impossible! No matter who comes, Miss Gongsun is prettier!"
The constable on the left said, "No matter how much you defend her, she is the county magistrate's daughter. How can she marry you?"
The constable on the right retorted, "Miss Bai Ling is the daughter of Master Bai Jian, she won't marry you!"
The two looked at each other and suddenly fell silent.
After a while, the two smiled at each other again.
"Yeah, that makes sense."
"Then what are we arguing about? Let's go to the concierge. Lao Qin said he's going to stew dog meat tonight."
"Eat dog meat."
The two constables left happily, arm in arm.
The girl named "Bai Ling" walked through the backyard door familiarly and came to her room.
A middle-aged Confucian scholar had been waiting there. He was the advisor that Gongsun Zhe had accepted previously.
At that time, Bai Jian claimed that he was a scholar whose family had fallen on hard times. He fled here with his daughter. It happened that Gongsun Zhe was recruiting aides, so he came to seek refuge.
After some examination, it was found that he was indeed knowledgeable and eloquent.
Gongsun Che gladly accepted him and let him and his daughter live in the yamen.
But what he didn't know was that the father and daughter were the two evil ghosts in the Corpse Cave, Bai Jian and Hong Ling.
"How is it?" Bai Jian asked directly when he saw her come back.
"Oh, the Taoist priests from Shenxu Temple came here for another purpose." Hong Ling sat down and said leisurely, "They came here to find a secret realm. Unexpectedly, the former owner of the secret realm was actually the old Taoist priest who sealed the king back then."
"He's dead?" Bai Jian was surprised.
"That's right. Although I didn't dare to enter the cave, I saw the body of the old Taoist..."
Speaking of this, Hong Ling gritted her teeth, apparently recalling some unpleasant scenes.
"Haha, my king had just escaped from the war and had not yet recovered, so he took advantage of the opportunity to break into the seal. The king has always been brooding over this matter and has been thinking about revenge. I didn't expect... that he had already died."
Bai Jian laughed happily.
Hong Ling added: "Now our only enemy left is that little Taoist priest."
Bai Jian's smile disappeared.
Hong Ling continued, "You were right. There are rules among the cultivators. If there are other cultivators in this government office, the little Taoist priest will not come. So we hide here and will not be discovered by the little Taoist priest.
But the cultivators here only come for the secret realm, and they will leave sooner or later. If we want to deal with the little Taoist priest, we must come up with a solution as soon as possible. "
Bai Jian rubbed his temples: "Don't rush me, I'm thinking."
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the yard.
A gleam of alertness flashed in Bai Jian's eyes, and he immediately dodged behind the screen.
After a while, I heard someone knocking on the door.
"Miss Bai, are you asleep?" I knew it was Zhang Yuxi.
Hong Ling frowned and asked in a tender voice, "Is that Master Zhang? I just went to bed. Is there anything wrong?"
"I'm sorry to bother you so late at night. But I just got back from an errand."
Zhang Yuxi apologized, and then said, "I wanted to... invite you to go rafting tomorrow, and I wanted to ask if you are free."
Hong Ling rolled her eyes silently and said, "I'll think about it."
Zhang Yuxi was delighted: "Okay, I'll come see you tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he left with a smile.
In this government office, Zhang Yuxi's first target was Gongsun Rou, the daughter of Gongsun Zhe.
But Gongsun Rou had a heart of stone, and no matter how he tried to show his goodwill, she remained unmoved.
Instead, she made soup every few days and went to Deyun Temple to give it to the young Taoist priest. I heard from the junior sister who followed Gongsun Rou that the soup she made was a kidney-tonifying soup.
Who can bear this?
So when Bai Jian and his daughter arrived, he immediately changed his target.
This Miss Bai Ling looks shy and timid, but she is actually very approachable. Their relationship has developed very quickly in the past few days - of course, that's just his opinion.
There was a great discovery in the secret realm today, and maybe it will be solved in this period of time.
By then, I might have to go back to Chaoge.
He couldn't bear to leave like this, no matter what, there had to be some practical progress!
There are too many people in the government office, making it very inconvenient to do things.
So he chose the reason of rafting.
When the time comes, I'll row the boat to a place where there are few people, hehehe...
For a moment, Zhang Yuxi's mind was filled with mosaics.
After Zhang Yuxi left, Bai Jian reappeared.
He looked at Hong Ling with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you in love?"
Hong Ling sneered, "I have lived for hundreds of years, and I have seen all kinds of men. How could I fall in love with such a fool?"
"Then you seem to be quite active with him these days."
"Just give him some sweet treats." Hong Ling touched her face with a dazed look, "I have such a beautiful face, someone has to like it, to prove my charm."
Bai Jian smiled without saying anything, and said something silently in his heart.
Bad woman.
…
In an inn not far from the government office.
Li Si brought a young man in cloth clothes and knocked on Mao Jiu's door.
The young man was dressed in brown cloth, with sleeves and leggings tied around his waist, in the style of a wandering rabble. His hair was loose, his eyes were bright, and his pair of tiger teeth were eye-catching.
Mao Jiu lazily opened the door and saw the young man. His back suddenly stiffened, his eyes widened, his chest straightened up, and he no longer had that calm expression.
After a moment of shock, she said, "Master Yu Lynx."
Although he knew that his fourth brother wanted to invite him, when he really came, he still couldn't suppress the fear in his heart.
The boy called Jade Lynx walked into the guest room with a smile.
Mao Jiu came back to his senses and complimented, "It's great that Master Yu Lynx is willing to help us."
The young man sat down, and Li Si rushed to pour him a cup of tea. He took the cup and sniffed it, but didn't drink it. Then he said, "You are my subordinates. If you encounter difficulties, I will naturally come to help. What's more, I have received benefits from you."
At this, he licked his lips.
"Your elder brother's demon pill tastes really good."
Thanks to "Just kidding" for the 500 reward, thanks to "skinner411" for the 500 reward, thanks to "Xiao" for the 100 reward, thanks to "Sleeping Dreams" for the 100 reward, thanks to "Mysterious Wind and Cloud" for the 100 reward.
