Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 192
[Chapter 192 Night Exploration]
Jiangnan Prefecture.
Prefecture City.
Lin Xiu held Caiyi’s hand and walked on the bluestone streets of Prefecture City. This was the last stop of their trip to Jiangnan. In the past half month, they had left their footprints in more than a dozen small towns in Jiangnan.
This was his and Caiyi’s honeymoon trip. Although Lin Xiu still wanted to spend some time alone with her, if he continued to wander around, he would really delay his practice.
Lingyin, Princess Minghe, Qin Wan, and even Li Baizhang were all working hard to practice. Before the big competition, everyone was working hard to roll up their sleeves, but he was wandering around the world, which seemed a bit inappropriate.
Don’t be unable to break through the earth level and make it into the top ten of the Tianjiao list, it would be a shame.
There are more than a dozen small towns in Jiangnan Prefecture. Prefecture City is the largest and most populous of these cities, but it is far behind the royal capital in all aspects.
In the capital, a Xuan-level magician or warrior does not even have the qualifications to be a personal guard for the children of some powerful families. At best, he can only be a lackey who cheers and shouts. But outside, even if he is a Xuan-level magician, some local officials have to treat him politely.
And the Xuan-level upper realm can walk sideways even in the Jiangnan Prefecture.
If he reaches the ground level, both the local tyrants and the government offices will treat him as a guest of honor.
Of course, there are no magicians and warriors here, nor are there any annoying dandies. Compared with the capital, there is more life.
As the last stop of this trip to Jiangnan, Lin Xiu’s main purpose is to purchase. It’s not easy to come out once, so I have to bring some gifts to my parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law, the imperial concubine, and Qin Wan. The
embroidery here is very famous, as well as tea, and then various candied cakes and pastries, all of which are the most authentic Jiangnan flavors. Bring more to the imperial concubine, she should like it.
When Caiyi and Lin Xiu were selecting fabrics in an embroidery workshop, there was a sudden noise on the street outside.
Lin Xiu glanced outside and saw several prison vans passing by on the street.
People stood on both sides of the street, watching the prison vans passing by, pointing and talking.
“What crime did these people commit and why were they arrested?”
“I heard that they were rebels from the Tiandao League. They failed to assassinate the son of the prefect and were arrested. They were dragged out and paraded through the streets.”
“The Tiandao League has done a lot of big things these days. I heard that even a son of the Zhang family in Wangdu died in their hands. But they also completely angered the Zhang family. In the past few months, the Zhang family has been hunting down the people of the Tiandao League. This incident was a trap for them. I didn’t expect to catch a few of them.”
…
Lin Xiu was shocked when he heard it. Oh no, his comrades were implicated.
Zhang Jing was killed by him. The Zhang family couldn’t find the murderer, so they put the blame on the Tiandao League.
Anyone would probably think so.
Although Lin Xiu is not a righteous man of the Tiandao League, what he did is more righteous than the Tiandao League.
When he and Caiyi finished shopping and walked out of the store, Lin Xiu saw that a constable posted a notice on the wall on the street. Many people had gathered under the notice.
“Three days later, the traitors of the Tiandao League will be executed.”
“People from the Tiandao League were captured before and they were executed immediately. Why is it three days later this time and with such a big fanfare?”
“Isn’t it obvious that they are fishing, waiting for their accomplices to rescue them, and then catch them all in one fell swoop…”
Lin Xiu took a look at the notice. He didn’t plan to stand idly by. Not only did he not want these righteous men to die, he was more worried that other people from the Tiandao League would fall into the trap. What if A Ke was among the people who rescued them?
After the last separation, Lin Xiu never heard from her again.
Lin Xiu couldn’t find her, and she didn’t come to find Lin Xiu.
Maybe, this time there will be a chance to see her.
Caiyi seemed reluctant to leave. After all, she grew up here and was more adapted to the climate and life here. Lin Xiu thought about it and said, “How about we stay here for a few more days?”
Caiyi was happy to hear that, “Really?”
Lin Xiu thought about it and said, “Why don’t we buy a house here? If you want to come here in the future, I will stay here with you for a few days. It’s convenient for us to come here anyway.”
On the way to Jiangnan, Caiyi saw Lin Xiu’s other ability.
She was Lin Xiu’s closest person, and there was no need to hide this from her.
Wangdu was nearly 3,000 miles away from Jiangnan. It would take at least half a month to take a carriage, and the narrow and bumpy carriage was far less comfortable than staying in Lin Xiu’s personal space. She only needed to sleep to get from Wangdu to Jiangnan.
Lin Xiu said she would buy it. The price of the house in Jiangnan was incomparable to Wangdu. Lin Xiu and Caiyi came to the yahang and bought an exquisite small house for only 5,000 taels.
Over the next two days, the two went out together again, bought a lot of furniture and daily necessities, and cleaned the house inside and out. This small house with white walls and black tiles began to look like a home.
At night, when Lin Xiu walked into the room, he found Caiyi had fallen asleep on the bed.
In the past two days, she was really exhausted from running around for the new house. Lin Xiu’s mind moved, and Caiyi’s body slowly floated up. Her clothes were slowly taken off and hung on the hanger.
Then, her body gently fell back on the bed, and the quilt at the head of the bed slowly unfolded and covered her.
Lin Xiu turned off the lights, walked out of the room, whistled softly, and several birds on the eaves also called. Then, his body gradually disappeared in the night.
Jiangnan Prefecture, the prison in the prefecture.
Three figures were tied to the pillars. The man on the left breathed a sigh of relief and said, “This time, I’m afraid I really have to meet the brothers below.”
The man in the middle remained calm and said, “My life was originally given by my brothers. It’s not a pity to die. I just hope that the death of the three of us will not implicate more brothers…”
The last person looked worried and said, “They waited for three days to execute us, just waiting for the brothers in Jiangnan Prefecture. If the brothers in the alliance are in trouble, we will risk our lives to save them. I think they will make the same choice. There may be changes on the execution ground tomorrow…”
Thinking of tomorrow, the three people couldn’t help but worry.
They didn’t worry about their own lives, but just hoped not to implicate more brothers.
At this time, under the ground, a figure was walking through the soil.
Tonight, Lin Xiu came to try his luck. If he was in the prison of the Qingli Division, he would definitely not think of robbing the prison. Under the prison of the Qingli Division, there is a layer of wood, a layer of iron, and a layer of stone, with cloth and other materials in between. No matter which type of magician, it is impossible to sneak into the cell to save people.
If the prison of Jiangnan Prefecture is not so particular, he is not without a chance.
However, just as Lin Xiu was moving slowly towards the cell under the ground, a wave of Yuanli suddenly came from in front of him.
At the same time, he noticed that the surrounding soil suddenly squeezed towards him.
No, there is a ground-level earth-type magician!
Lin Xiu hardened his body instantly, and at the same time, a powerful force burst out from his body, and he escaped directly from the ground.
The next moment, another figure also emerged from the ground. He pressed his hands on the ground and asked in surprise: “Where did he go?”
He just clearly sensed that someone tried to approach here with the earth escape technique. Judging from the Yuanli fluctuations on his body, he should be a person with the ability to awaken the earth magic, and his strength is the fourth awakening of the Xuan level upper realm.
This person must be from the Tiandao League, and he came to rescue his accomplices who were imprisoned in the prison.
He wanted to trap this person underground at the first time, but for some reason, he escaped. When he chased him out, he seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was no trace of him.
The earth-level earth-type magician showed an unbelievable look on his face. Could it be that he saw a ghost?
At this time, several other figures walked out of the darkness and asked, “What happened?”
The earth-level magician said, “Someone wanted to rob the prison just now, and I couldn’t stop him. Did you see what this person looked like?”
The other people shook their heads and said, “No, except for you, no one came out of the underground just now.”
The earth-level magician said blankly, “It’s impossible. Am I wrong, or does he have accomplices around him who help them hide their bodies?”
Another person shook his head and said in a deep voice, “It seems that we have to be extra careful when executing tomorrow. We will draw more people overnight. No matter how many people they come tomorrow, they must not return!”
At this time, in a certain house, Lin Xiu slowly landed in the yard.
He guessed correctly, there was indeed an ambush there.
In addition to the earth-level earth ability user, at the moment of escaping, he also felt two earth-level auras nearby. If there was only one, he could deal with it, but if there were three, he would definitely not be able to beat them now, so he could only retreat first. The
chance of saving them at the execution ground is obviously greater than in the prison.
If there are strong people from the Tiandao League to help him share the pressure tomorrow, the possibility of saving those people will be even greater.
Having just escaped from the soil, although his body was not very dirty, Lin Xiu still took a bath first. If there is a chance in the future, he will copy the water skill first. Apart from anything else, this ability is really convenient for taking a bath.
When he returned to the room, Caiyi on the bed rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, “Husband, where have you been so late?”
Lin Xiu walked to the bed and lay down, saying, “I couldn’t sleep, so I went out for a walk.”
Caiyi curled up in his arms and said, “I just slept for a while, and now I can’t sleep either.” It
was late at night. In the river beside the small house, a fish suddenly jumped up, splashing a cluster of water. In the grass by the river, the unknown insects stopped singing. The birds on the eaves suddenly flapped their wings and flew away…
