LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 69
Chapter 69 – Evil Flower Picker⑨
None of the three wanted to comment on Bai Xiaodao’s heavy taste.
As the night gradually deepened, Bai Xiaodao finally couldn’t bear the loneliness of being alone, so he squeezed into the bed with Fang Xiaoguang.
People outside the city started to rest after a whole day of turmoil. People in the Jianghu don’t care about being Jianghu people. No matter how big their families are, they have tried the taste of eating and sleeping in the open. It’s like Xie Qinglan, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, isn’t falling asleep in the ruined temple now.
People from the rivers and lakes outside the city set up piles of bonfires, some gathered to talk, some leaned against the walls and trees and lay on the haystacks to sleep, and some people meditated. The soldiers on the city wall couldn’t help Hache even her, and they were no longer as arrogant as they were during the day.
In a forest not far from the city gate, two luxurious carriages were parked inside. At this time, a very soft voice came from inside, “Father, what if I can’t get in?”
A middle-aged man in another carriage said: “Xie Qinglan must have come, I don’t know why he hasn’t shown up.”
The girl said: “Father, how do you know that Xie Qinglan has come?”
“It’s no secret that he competed with Xue Hong in the pass a few days ago. If he really doesn’t want to come here, why don’t he come here to eat sand without waiting for Jiangnan?”
The girl thought for a while and said, “Could he have already entered the city?”
The fire was shining in the distance, and the middle-aged man’s expression was dark and unclear. He said calmly, “Maybe.”
“ah!!”
Suddenly there was a scream in front, and the sound came here and startled the horse, and the driver immediately calmed the horse. The girl lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked forward, “What happened?”
There was a mess ahead, a group of people gathered together, the middle-aged man said to one of his subordinates: “Go and see what’s going on.”
The subordinates ran over to look, but couldn’t see what was going on in the crowd, so they heard a woman crying, “The head of the house? The head of the house! Who the **** killed my head?!”
People are floating in the rivers and lakes, and they don’t know any medical skills anywhere. Soon someone saw the problem, “It’s poisonous, it died of poisoning.”
“Who will poison him?”
“Ah! Brother? Brother, wake up? Something happened to my brother too…”
Such exclamations sounded one after another, and before everyone was prepared, a dozen people were poisoned and died.
Soon someone said: “The dog officer must have done it. He didn’t let us enter the city and wanted to poison us here. Damn, fight him!”
This incident caused great panic and anger, and all martial arts people gathered together and began to attack the city.
The soldiers above were still shouting: “Stop! You are tantamount to rebellion, and you are going to punish the nine clans…”
No one listened to him, and no one knew who drew a sword. The soldier on the city wall was stabbed in the head and died on the spot, and fell off the city wall. The soldiers on the top of the city wall were frightened and angry. They bent their bows and set their arrows and started shooting down the city without saying a word.
For a while, the sound of screams was endless…
Fang Xiaoguang woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, and Bai Xiaodao, who was huddled with him, drools from his sleep. Fang Xiaoguang moved away a little in disgust, he was flustered and had a bad premonition.
This feeling was really not very good, he couldn’t fall asleep when he woke up, he got up lightly and planned to go outside to get some air. When she turned her head, she saw Ai Qian lying on the quilt with her hands and feet stretched out.
He looked at Essie, thinking she was strange. That night her mother was going to drug her to force herself, and in the end she let her go suddenly and inexplicably. And her behavior at that time was very strange, as if she didn’t know that she had drugged the mutton soup, and she would go out to vomit after drinking it.
It was even more strange for her to go on the road with Essie these two days. Although she is still strong in martial arts, she still has a bad temper. But the previous Xue Hong was not like this. Regardless of whether she was deliberate or not, the romantic temperament that she wanted to seduce when she saw a man was no longer visible.
If he hadn’t seen her change with his own eyes, Fang Xiaoguang would have doubted whether Xue Hong had been replaced. He walked over to help Ai Qian cover the quilt, and then quietly walked out of the ruined temple.
It was still pitch black outside, and for some reason it sounded like people fighting. Fang Xiaoguang walked around to the back of the ruined temple, and saw flames bursting into the sky from the direction of the south gate of the city, and there were shouts of killing.
He raised his lightness kung fu and ran over there, when he heard a loud noise as soon as he arrived at the street, the gate of the city was opened. Countless people from the rivers and lakes rushed in, killing everyone they saw. Fang Xiaoguang hid aside and didn’t understand what happened, obviously he was fine tomorrow.
Those people from the rivers and lakes didn’t stay here at all, and ran away after rushing into the city and killing people indiscriminately. Fang Xiaoguang came out and planned to go back to the ruined temple to tell everyone the situation. At this time, two carriages drove in from the gate of the city. A woman lifted the curtain of the carriage and said, “My little brother, what’s going on in the city tonight?”
Fang Xiaoguang thought it was strange for her to ask this question. Is it a problem if the city gates are broken? He didn’t speak, the girl was slightly taken aback after seeing his appearance clearly, isn’t this the sad and handsome young man I saw on the street that night?
Fang Xiaoguang felt that there was something wrong with her, so he kept talking, gave her a cold look, and then left.
When he came back, he saw Xie Qinglan sitting under the quilt looking at him, and when he saw him coming back, he smiled slightly, “What happened?”
Fang Xiaoguang woke up Bai Xiaodao and Ai Qian, and then told the story.
Ai Qian was stupefied, how could such a big event be caused by just a piece of fake peerless martial arts news?
Xie Qinglan pondered for a moment and said, “This is not normal.”
“Of course it’s not normal.” Bai Xiaodao said, “I’ve been staying outside the city during the day. Although those people are unhappy, at most they are discussing sneaking into the city at night. How could they break in so blatantly? Although people in Jianghu say martial arts are good, but the government is full of people after all, everyone will try not to get involved with the government if they can, this is definitely not normal.”
Ai Qian looked at Fang Xiaoguang and said, “Are you willing to ask?”
“No.” Fang Xiaoguang said: “At that time they broke in and started killing people, and then they all ran away. I didn’t have a chance to ask.”
“It’s useless to be urgent.” Xie Qinglan said: “Our ruined temple is relatively remote, and no one will come here for the time being. Xiaoguang will go to inquire about the news tomorrow morning.”
Fang Xiaoguang responded, Bai Xiaodao said: “Then what about me?”
Xie Qinglan stared at him silently for a while, and Ai Qian said, “It’s estimated that there won’t be any breakfast sellers in the city in such a mess, so you can get some wild game for us for breakfast.”
“You…” Bai Xiaodao was not reconciled that he could only do this kind of thing, he pointed at Ai Qian and Xie Qinglan and said, “Then what are you two doing?”
Xie Qinglan said as it should: “The two of us will go to the prefect’s mansion.”
“Why do you two go to the prefect’s mansion, and I can only cook?”
Xie Qinglan smiled slightly, “Because our martial arts are higher than yours.”
“What about him?” Bai Xiaodao pointed at Fang Xiaoguang, “I can also inquire about the news.”
“You can’t.” Ai Qian said: “There are many people who know you, and you are still wanted.”
Bai Xiaodao: “…”
It was dawn soon, and Fang Xiaoguang went out to find out the news. Ai Qian and Xie Qinglan went to the prefect’s mansion together. As soon as they got nearby, Xie Qinglan said, “It’s a step late.”
It was indeed late, the gate of the prefect’s mansion was opened at this time, and the plaques on it fell to the ground, and the inside was blood red from the outside. After the two went in, they found that the prefect’s mansion was full of corpses. Obviously, a massacre had occurred here at night.
No living person could be found in the entire prefect’s mansion, Xie Qinglan frowned and said: “What happened last night, how could ordinary people in the Jianghu slaughter the entire prefect’s mansion? Could it be that someone really rebelled?”
At this time, Ai Qian and Xie Qinglan turned their heads to look outside the door at the same time, and someone was coming.
A woman outside the door said: “It seems that Mr. Xie has already entered the city, so he doesn’t know anything about what happened last night.”
A woman in a purple dress came in. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with icy muscles and a beautiful complexion. The woman came in with a smile, but when she saw Ai Qian and Xie Qinglan standing together, her face changed, and she asked strangely: “Didn’t it be said that the one who entered the city with Xue Hong was a fake Mr. Xie?”
Xie Qinglan’s expression didn’t change at all: “Who said that?”
The woman really didn’t understand now, she clearly heard that Xue Hong brought a fake Xie Qinglan into the city, that’s why she was wanted, why is the real Xie Qinglan appearing beside her now?
Although it was strange, the woman still said: “The little girl’s name is Yang Yan, and I have met Brother Xie.”
Ai Qian has been staring at Yang Yan since she came in. The heroine is worthy of being a heroine, look at her style, look at her figure, isn’t this what she wants to be?
Xie Qinglan looked Yang Yan up and down and said, “Are you Yang Xiong’s daughter?”
Yang Yan smiled sweetly, “Exactly.”
“Then you shouldn’t call me Shixiong.” Xie Qinglan said lightly: “I and Brother Yang are commensurate, you should call me uncle.”
The smile on Yang Yan’s face cracked on the spot…
Ai Qian was also stunned, and then she remembered that the top ten on the score of masters were all of the same generation, and Xie Qinglan seemed to have nothing wrong with saying that.
Yang Yan was embarrassed for a long time, then looked at Ai Qian. Ai Qian’s brain twitched, and she blurted out: “Xie Qinglan and I are also of the same generation.”
Yang Yan: “…”
After talking about it, Ai Qian felt like slapping herself, how can you rush to become an aunt like this? I should be my younger sister at such a young age.
Yang Yan’s lips trembled for a while, and finally avoided the question of address, and changed the subject: “Actually, this happened strangely and suddenly, all because eleven martial arts practitioners outside the city were inexplicably poisoned last night. .”
