Judge of the Lamp

Xu Zhiqiong returned to Zhukukulou Teahouse, sat under the blue light, thinking about tactics while waiting for news from the two of them.

One is the news of Zhong Jianxue, and the other is the news of Han Chen. The news of these two people is very important.

In order to guard against Mei Ling, Xia Hu moved all the teacups, teapots, tea stoves, and water tanks here, and let her make tea for Xu Zhiqiong herself, and never let Mei Ling get any closer.

When Yinshi was approaching, Xia Hu couldn't bear it any longer, she stuck her head on Xu Zhiqiong's leg and fell asleep.

Mei Ling stepped forward, changed the cold tea, made hot tea again, and added a sandalwood to the incense burner.

Looking at the sleeping Xia Hu, Mei Ling smiled and said, "With such a good lady, it's no wonder you don't want to look at me more."

Xu Zhiqiong touched Xia Hu's face: "Yes, my wife is really nice."

While speaking, clear saliva flowed from the corner of Xia Hu's mouth (ha lazi), dripping on Xu Zhiqiong's leg.

Mei Ling covered her mouth and smiled.

Xu Zhiqiong didn't smile, more water is not a bad thing, he just likes such a lady!
Sitting silently for a while, Mei Ling added another cup of tea to Xu Zhiqiong, and suddenly asked, "If she died, would you cry for her?"

Xu Zhiqiong frowned suddenly, and looked up at Mei Ling.

Mei Ling looked as usual, still smiling.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "I'm alive, so I won't let her die."

Mei Ling asked again: "If you die, will she cry for you?"

Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "My fate is hard, I won't die so easily."

Mei Ling smiled: "The way you said that is somewhat similar to him."

Xu Zhiqiong was startled: "Who am I like?"

Mei Ling didn't answer, she looked at Xia Hu, sighed softly and said: "You guys are going to fight, when you fight, you must remember two things,

The first thing, the affairs of your Dao Sect must be dealt with in the Dao Sect. It is best not to let outsiders intervene, and you must not let outsiders take his life, otherwise there will be endless troubles. "

Xu Zhiqiong smiled wryly and said: "It's not easy, he is the third rank of my Taoist sect, besides, Long Xiulian also has helpers by his side."

Mei Ling said: "You don't have to worry about foreign matters, and you can't be ambiguous about internal matters. You can let outsiders deal with the help he invited, but you can't let outsiders kill Long Xiulian.
Just think about it, when Long Xiulian attacked his comrades, did he ever seek outsiders? "

Xu Zhiqiong was startled.

When dealing with his comrades, Long Xiulian really never looked for outsiders.

Even if he wanted to destroy the way of judges, he would still use judges.

Mei Ling continued: "Second thing, I'm not an outsider. I have a deep relationship with your sect. When the war starts, you must take me with you. Believe me. I'm by your side, and you won't die. .”

When Xu Zhiqiong heard this, he cupped his fists and saluted, "Although I don't know the origin of senior, I know that senior is full of kindness. Thank you for your kindness."

Mei Ling shook her head and smiled, "Don't call me a senior. If you call someone old, you can call me Mei Ling. What a nice name."

……

At noon the next day, Zhong Jianxue came to Zhukulou Teahouse and handed a cloth bag to Xu Zhiqiong.

"Brother Ma, I got the things."

Xu Zhiqiong was very pleasantly surprised, and thanked Zhong Jianxue repeatedly.

Zhong Jianxue sighed and said, "Brother Ma, for this thing, do you know how much I have suffered and suffered? How can you repay me?"

Xu Zhiqiong sighed lightly and said, "Brother Zhong, you know that I am a poor man, and I can't bring anything of value with me. I can't repay my brother's kindness, but I can only promise him with my body..."

Before finishing speaking, Zhong Jianxue pulled out half of the long sword.

"Just now I was joking, Brother Zhong, don't blame me," Xu Zhiqiong said with a straight expression, "If Brother Zhong wants to dismiss you, Ma will never refuse."

Zhong Jianxue withdrew his long sword and said: "After the judges are eradicated, please also ask Brother Ma to help me eradicate the scum of the underworld."

Xu Zhiqiong was stunned: "Didn't Brother Zhong say before that your Taoist sect has its own emperor as the master, and you don't need an outsider like me to intervene."

"Brother Ma laughed, and Zhong felt ashamed for saying such words," Zhong Jianxue said with a helpless face, "Things may have changed, and we will discuss them in detail later."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Brother Zhong, don't worry, if a gentleman says something, he will whip the horse quickly. I will still say the same thing. Ma will never refuse."

Zhong Jianxue clasped his fists and turned to leave, Xu Zhiqiong said: "Brother Zhong, please wait, I don't know how to use this thing yet."

Zhong Jianxue said: "The usage is also in this cloth bag."

Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "This is the secret method of the underworld, how could it be learned overnight?"

"Brother Ma is indeed difficult to learn, but Brother Ma's servant Yang Wu is a genius, let him see it, and he will naturally get the essentials. Brother Ma, Zhong really wants to fight side by side with you, but this time my Daoist..." Zhong Jianxue's expression became more serious, and he couldn't say any more.

He clasped his fists to Xu Zhiqiong again: "Zhong waits for Brother Ma's good news!"

……

After Zhong Jianxue left, Xu Zhiqiong handed the cloth bag to Yang Wu and asked him to study how to use it.

After seeing how to use it, Yang Wu scratched his scalp and said, "This method is a bit difficult, can you allow me to try it once?"

"Try?" Xu Zhiqiong said angrily: "Can you try this casually? Do you know how precious this thing is? Do you know how much effort was put into this thing?"

Yang Wu snorted and said: "If you don't try it, don't try it. If it doesn't work then, don't blame me."

"I don't blame you? If it doesn't work, I will kill you on the spot!"

……

For a whole day, Xu Zhiqiong was full of anxiety, waiting for news from Han Chen.

In the afternoon, Han Chen remained silent.

At dusk, there was still no movement.

Until Xu time, it was completely dark, and Han Chen came.

Behind him was a woman with a hat on her head and a veil hanging under the hat.

Xu Zhiqiong was very nervous.

Han Chen said that it was just a simple modification, and he didn't know how similar it could be.

After Han Chen helped the woman take off the veil, Xu Zhiqiong smiled.

……

Chen Shuncai paced back and forth in the yard, fidgeting.

He bought new clothes, jewelry, rouge, and dried flowers for Qu Qiao.

He made a table of drinks for Qu Qiao.

He didn't want to take Qu Qiao home, he just wanted to have a look at her.

Xu Zhiqiong will definitely take her away.

As long as she can drink a bowl of wine, let her pick two clothes and jewelry and take them away together.

As long as Xu Zhiqiong can really bring her here, I can do anything!
After waiting until midnight, Xu Zhiqiong was nowhere to be seen.

Chen Shun gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Canrou Xingjun's voice seemed to sound in his ears again: "Silly boy, you have been deceived again."

He couldn't tell if it was a hallucination.

Lied to me!Lied to me again!

I'm so stupid too!Why take his word for it!

Maybe he was sent by that Long to test me!

Chen Shuncai hated and annoyed, suddenly heard the footsteps of two people outside the courtyard.

Two people.

It's two people!

Chen Shun didn't dare to raise his head, because the sound of a person's footsteps was very familiar.

When she was in the palace, in Chen Shuncai's courtyard, Qu Qiao's footsteps were always very gentle.

Because she was afraid of waking up Chen Shuncai.

Chen Shun didn't dare to look at it, he was afraid that he might be wrong.

"Chen Bingbi, I brought the man here."

Xu Zhiqiong brought Qu Qiao to Chen Shuncai.

Qu Qiao took off the bamboo hat, looked at Chen Shuncai, and said softly, "My lord."

Chen Shuncai trembled, slowly raised his head, and looked at Qu Qiao in front of him.

It's her, it's her...

Chen Shuncai trembled for a long time, then turned to look at Xu Zhiqiong.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Chen Bingbi, keep your word, tell me, what is Long Xiulian going to do next?"

Chen Shuncai came back to his senses, and said slowly: "He is going to the palace to kidnap the little emperor, the purpose is unknown."

Xu Zhiqiong said, "When will we do it?"

"He didn't say when to do it, he just said that two days later, at Haishi, let me go to Beiyuan Qierzhai to wait for him."

"How many people are around him?"

"There are Ye Ansheng, the owner of the penance workshop, and the empress dowager. The only helpers I know are these two."

Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "That's enough to know."

Chen Shuncai looked at Qu Qiao for a long time, then turned to Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do? Kill that surnamed Long? Or let me go to the palace to protect the emperor?"

Xu Zhiqiong remained silent.

Chen Shuncai took a deep breath, lowered his head and said, "You, you, can you, don't, don't take her away, let me do whatever, please..."

Xu Zhiqiong asked in surprise, "Why take her away?"

"I, my..." Chen Shuncai lowered his head, "You, you just treat me like a slave, you can do whatever you want, I, I can do anything, you, don't take her away, you first Let her have a bowl of drinks first, take, take some food and clothes..."

Xu Zhiqiong turned to Qu Qiao and said, "Go."

Qu Qiao walked slowly to Chen Shuncai's side.

Chen Shuncai looked at Xu Zhiqiong in a daze.

Now that Qu Qiao is released, Xu Zhiqiong will not be able to snatch it back no matter what means he uses.

Did he tamper with Qu Qiao?

"What did you put on her?"

Xu Zhiqiong was taken aback: "Put what? You mean I should give you a congratulatory gift? I've prepared it."

He took out the slave ghost jade from his arms and handed it to Chen Shuncai: "She is my servant, you keep this jade well, as long as this jade is here, as long as I am still alive, neither the judge nor the seducer can take it away." Her soul, there is no need to hide in the future, and we will be a husband and wife openly."

Xu Zhiqiong turned to leave, when Chen Shun called out, "Hold on, just make it clear, what exactly do you want me to do? I will never break my promise."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "You have already told me about Long Xiulian, there is no need to do anything else for me."

Chen Shuncai shook his head and said: "Don't lie to me again, that bit of information is not enough to get Qu Qiao back, don't lie to me again, just tell me what you want me to do."

Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "Alright, then do another thing for me."

"You say so!"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "I'm thirsty, make me a bowl of drink."
