Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 205

[Chapter 205: A Ke Appears]

“Steamed buns!”

“Freshly baked pancakes…”

“Excuse me, make way…”

…

Ningshan City was particularly lively in the early morning. The people and vendors began their busy day, and the streets were full of people.

Lin Xiu and Qin Wan held hands, each holding a steamed bun, eating while walking.

Qin Wan felt that the weather was too hot, so she insisted on holding Lin Xiu’s hand.

This place was thousands of miles away from the capital, and no one knew them. Not to mention just holding hands on the street, even if they kissed passionately in the street, they were not afraid of being seen by acquaintances, but in this era, except for couples, few people of the opposite sex would do this outside. In the

past two days of going out, the relationship between Lin Xiu and Qin Wan has improved rapidly.

When they were in the capital, they only flirted verbally at most.

Now they have already started to get close. They

even sleep in the same bed at night.

They are very close in action, but they are not officially together.

Even in the future, this kind of relationship is very strange.

But Lin Xiu and Qin Wan didn’t think anything of it.

This may be the tacit understanding between a scumbag man and a scumbag woman.

This trip is said to be a mission, but it is actually more like a two-person trip.

People often say that the best way to understand a person is to travel with her. During the journey, all her strengths and weaknesses will be exposed.

I don’t know if it was because of the beauty that deceived his eyes. During the two-day journey, Lin Xiu did not find Qin Wan’s shortcomings at all. The only feeling he had was that she was very fragrant and soft.

Walking in Ningshan City and walking on the streets of Wangdu are completely different experiences.

Wangdu is the face of Daxia. The streets of Dongcheng, where Lin Xiu and Qin Wan live on a daily basis, are paved with stone slabs. They are wide and clean. There are many patrolling guards, almost one post every three steps and one sentry every two steps. But in Ningshan City, even the main streets are bumpy. If you walk a little faster, it will raise a cloud of dust. On

both sides of the street, you will see one or two beggars every three or five steps. When Lin Xiu and Qin Wan walked past a street corner, they even saw a little girl selling herself to bury her father.

In the past, Lin Xiu saw the plot of selling herself to bury her father on TV, and he thought the screenwriter was nonsense. Why sell your body to bury your father? Wouldn’t it be better to just dig a hole and bury him?

Of course, now Lin Xiu knew why those girls had to sell themselves to bury their relatives.

Even if they didn’t need a coffin or funeral arrangements, they had nowhere to be buried.

In this world, any piece of land they stepped on had an owner. Even a random piece of mountain land belonged to either Mr. Wang or Mr. Li. If they arbitrarily occupied other people’s land, they would be dragged to see the officials.

Qin Wan looked at the little girl, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing mourning clothes, and felt pity. She took out a silver ingot and gave it to her, saying, “Take this money and bury your father.”

Lin Xiu and Li Baizhang had a consensus a long time ago that big breasts and hips are good, but for girls, the most important thing is the soul.

It’s not enough to be beautiful. Beautiful women with vicious hearts, like the Princess of Qin, are not popular.

Men have no resistance to beautiful and kind girls.

When the girl saw the silver Qin Wan gave, she knelt on the ground, kowtowed constantly, and said repeatedly: “Thank you, beautiful sister, thank you, beautiful sister…”

Qin Wan touched her head and said: “I don’t want your reward, go and arrange your father’s funeral.”

The little girl got up from the ground, looked at the two people holding hands, and said piously: “Sister is a good person, I wish you and the young master a long life, good fortune and longevity, and early birth of a son…”

The blessing of the little girl was more like a curse to Lin Xiu.

With the ability to heal, it is short-lived for him if he does not live for hundreds or thousands of years.

But the little girl didn’t know this, and longevity should be the most sincere blessing for her.

Lin Xiu also took out a silver ingot and gave it to her, saying: “The little girl is really good at talking, this is a reward for you.”

This ingot of silver was about ten taels, and Lin Xiu did not give more. Giving more would be a disaster rather than a blessing for her. Ten taels of silver was not more or less, enough for her to improve her life for a long time.

The little girl did not expect to meet two nobles today, and kowtowed again.

Lin Xiu and Qin Wan walked away hand in hand. Qin Wan looked back and said with emotion: “I thought I was already very pitiful, but compared to them, I am still lucky.”

Lin Xiu said: “Of course you are lucky. You are lucky to meet me. Where else can you find a man like me who is willing to take you in, take care of you, warm your bed in winter and cool you in summer?”

Qin Wan rolled her eyes at him and said: “That’s because you want to do something more excessive to me.” Lin

Xiu also rolled her eyes at her and said: “Don’t you think I don’t know that you have been secretly touching me in the morning these two days…” Lin

Xiu understood a truth in his previous life.

Don’t look at girls who look pure like a little white flower on the surface. In fact, when they are lustful, they can be more lustful than men. The little white flower can turn into a little yellow flower in an instant.

Unexpectedly, he knew everything. Qin Wan blushed and then asked, “Why, Xue Ning’er can touch it, but I can’t?”

Lin Xiu said, “If you want to touch it, you don’t have to be sneaky. Just tell me and you can touch it at will…”

On the way to the government office, Lin Xiu and Qin Wan were flirting while walking. When they passed an alley, they were suddenly blocked by several figures rushing out of the alley.

Four men, all holding sharp weapons, blocked Lin Xiu and Qin Wan’s way forward and retreat, two in front and two behind.

One of the men with a cross scar on his face put the dagger against Lin Xiu’s waist and whispered, “Boy, don’t you understand the principle of not showing off your wealth? Hand over all the silver on you!”

Lin Xiu and Qin Wan looked at each other and knew that they were targeted when they gave the silver to the girl just now.

These people are really bold. They dare to rob people with knives in the streets of the main city of the prefectural city. It is true that the farther away from the capital, the more chaotic it is. Lin Xiu has been in the capital for so long. The powerful people in the capital are indeed domineering, but the ruffians are rarely so blatant.

The government office in the capital can’t do anything to the powerful, and they are ruthless when it comes to killing bullies.

The people on the street seem to be accustomed to such things. After taking a look at them, they hurried away.

Not far away, at a tea stall on the side of the road, a young man in white couldn’t help but stand up, but was pressed down by the old man in blue next to him.

The old man looked at him and shook his head slightly. The young man looked annoyed, but in the end he didn’t stand up, but he was still paying attention to the situation over there.

However, soon, he saw a shocking scene.

The four thugs suddenly knelt on the ground and began to slap their faces left and right. Their cheeks were swollen and blood was flowing from the corners of their mouths. They did not stop their hands.

“Hiss, what happened?”

“The young man and the young lady didn’t touch them, why did they slap themselves?”

“Are they possessed?”

“All four of them are possessed?”

…

On the street, the faces of the four thugs were swollen, but they could still clearly see fear. At this moment, they could not control their hands at all and were still slapping their faces.

Lin Xiu did not make a move, but Qin Wan did.

The situation in front of him still surprised Lin Xiu.

These people are ordinary people. Qin Wan used the magic of illusion to confuse their minds and control their bodies.

But under normal circumstances, at this time, the controlled people are in a state of unconsciousness.

After Qin Wan released her ability, they had no idea what happened.

But now, they are very clear-headed, but still unable to control themselves.

This means that Qin Wan can directly control their behavior when they are awake.

This kind of control is different from telekinesis. Telekinesis, in the final analysis, is to control others through external force. What Qin Wan controls is their brains and nerves.

The book does not say that the magic of illusion has this ability.

However, before Qin Wan, no one has ever broken through this ability to the earth level.

Her own outstanding talent, coupled with the court’s no-cost accumulation of Yuanjing, has pushed her to the earth level. From now on, the magic of illusion will also be promoted to the earth level, and Qin Wan will write a new chapter.

On the street, Qin Wan couldn’t help but say, “How dare they rob in the street? How come this place is more chaotic than the capital?”

Lin Xiu explained, “It’s normal. Under the emperor’s feet, there are still some restrictions on ordinary people other than the powerful. It’s rare for local officials not to bully the people when they leave the capital. These bullies, bandits and robbers are even more rampant.”

Qin Wan glanced at the four people kneeling and said, “In this case, the more people like the Tiandao League, the better. There must be someone in this world who can uphold justice.”

Lin Xiu was very pleased. She was beautiful, kind, and full of justice. She was worthy of being the woman he fell in love with at first sight.

At this time, Qin Wan leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Why don’t we just ignore this action and play here for a few days before going back…”

Lin Xiu agreed, “I think so too.”

Regarding this matter, Lin Xiu and Qin Wan hit it off, but they still had to go to the government office, at least to tell others that they were here.

It is the responsibility of every student of the Yishu Academy to enjoy the resources of the court and share the worries of the court.

This is especially true for the students of Tianzi Academy, especially Qin Wan. The court spent millions of taels on her, so she had to give something back. If she was asked to arrest some rebels, she would refuse and refuse, which was not justifiable on the surface.

Even if she didn’t want to contribute behind the scenes, she still had to pretend to do so on the surface.

Qin Wan’s mind moved, and the four people slowly stood up, slapping themselves in the face, and walked towards the government office.

When their figures completely disappeared, the young man in white asked the old man beside him in a low voice: “Grandpa, have you seen it a long time ago?”

The old man shook his head and whispered: “No, the reason I stopped you just now was that I didn’t want you to take action. We have to be very low-key when we go out this time. If we attract too much attention, it may ruin the big thing…”

The young man bowed his head and said: “I know, I was too impulsive just now.”

Then he asked again: “Grandpa, what kind of supernatural power was that just now? It’s so magical that it can make those people hit themselves in the face…”

The old man stroked his beard and said: “I don’t know, it may be telekinesis or puppetry, but it has nothing to do with us…”

He murmured in a low voice, and his face showed doubt again. He thought to himself, at this time, such a rare person with supernatural powers appeared in Ningshan City. Is it a coincidence or…

For safety reasons, they have to be extra careful these days.

Not long after, the grandfather and grandson left the tea stall and disappeared in the crowd.

At this time, Lin Xiu and Qin Wan had also arrived at the Ningshan government office.

There wasn’t even any guard at the gate of the Ningshan government office. When Lin Xiu and Qin Wan walked in, they saw several detectives squatting in a circle in the yard, apparently rolling dice.

“It’s about to start, place your bets!”

“I’ll bet ten cents, big!”

“I’ll bet small!”

…

These constables were so engrossed in the gambling game that they didn’t notice anyone walking into the government yard.

Lin Xiu coughed twice, and then someone looked back and saw these strangers, frowning and asking, “What are you doing?”

Lin Xiu said indifferently, “The two of us passed by Ningshan Mansion and encountered these four bandits who blocked our way and robbed us. We subdued them and sent them here. Let’s detain them first.”

The constable looked behind Lin Xiu and Qin Wan, and finally found the four people standing there blankly with their heads swollen like pigs. It

took him a lot of effort to recognize that these four people were members of a small gang in the city. On weekdays, they extorted some people or merchants in the city. Because they were very sensible and offered a lot of tribute every month, everyone turned a blind eye to this.

This time, they should have set their sights on these two outsiders.

After all, outsiders are the easiest to bully.

These four guys were targeting them, which showed that the two men had a lot of money on them, so they should be able to make a lot of money.

They also liked these outsiders very much.

The constable glanced at Lin Xiu and said lightly: “The right and wrong will be judged by justice. Who allowed you to beat people privately?”

He waved his hand and said to the other two constables: “First, lock up all the people involved in the case and slowly retrial them later.”

Qin Wan had already seen that the constables and bandits in the Ningshan Prefecture government office were in cahoots with each other, and said coldly: “The officials and bandits are colluding with each other, and it’s really rotten.”

The constable pointed at him and said angrily: “What did you say!”

However, as soon as he stretched out his fingers, his fingertips began to freeze, and in an instant, half of his body was frozen.

Just now he felt the heat was unbearable, and suddenly he felt the icy cold. The half of his body that was frozen was completely unconscious. He showed an extremely terrified expression on his face. He wanted to speak, but even his mouth was frozen.

This scene also made the other constables who were still watching the excitement unable to remain calm.

“Master of strange magic!”

“This is the government office, you’d better not act wildly here!”

“There are still strong men in the government office, you’d better surrender quickly…”

…

Although they spoke loudly, no one dared to approach.

The movement outside finally attracted the people in the government office.

A man in crimson official uniform walked out of a government office. When he saw Lin Xiu and Qin Wan, and the frozen head of the police, he immediately understood something. He smiled and greeted them, saying, “You are Mr. Lin and Miss Qin, right? I am Song Liang, the prefect of Ningshan Prefecture. I have been waiting for you for a long time. You two have come from afar. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. I hope you will forgive me…”

This mission required the cooperation of local officials. The prefect of Ningshan Prefecture knew about their arrival in advance, and Lin Xiu was not surprised.

He glanced at the head of the police and said with a smile: “Your head of the police in Ningshan Prefecture is really amazing. Instead of helping the victim, he colluded with the bandits…”

Ningshan Prefecture Yin immediately said: “Sorry, Mr. Lin, it’s all because of my poor discipline. I’m sorry to both of you. Come, take Gong Shi away and give him fifty lashes. From now on, he will be dismissed from his post and investigated. And these four bastards will be thrown into the prison immediately and given heavy punishment. After I welcome the two distinguished guests, I will personally interrogate them!”

The head of the police changed color, but because his mouth was frozen, he couldn’t make a sound. He could only look at Ningshan Prefecture Yin with pleading eyes.

But Ningshan Prefecture Yin just glanced at Gong head of the police indifferently, and said expressionlessly: “Take him away!”

These idiots, no matter how arrogant and domineering they are on weekdays, they should behave themselves these days. There are several important figures in the capital who are coming to Ningshan Prefecture. If they offend them, he can’t sit in the position of Ningshan Prefecture Yin safely.

The prefect of a prefecture does sound impressive, but he knows very well that he is just a dog of the powerful. He can still make decisions in Ningshan Prefecture, but he cannot afford to offend anyone who comes from the capital.

Especially the two in front of him, these young geniuses will surely become powerful people who are famous in Daxia in the future, so he can only try his best to curry favor with them.

Then, he looked at Lin Xiu carefully and asked, “Mr. Lin, are you satisfied with this treatment?”

Lin Xiu didn’t know the official rank of the Ningshan prefect, but he had to say that his vigorous and resolute actions were impeccable.

Lin Xiu nodded and said, “Lord Song, just deal with it impartially.”

In addition, he also noticed a very interesting thing. The first family in Jiangnan Prefecture is surnamed Zhang, and the prefect of Ningshan Prefecture is surnamed Song. This is not a coincidence. The strength shown by the powerful in Kyoto is just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, the powerful in Daxia Prefecture actually control more than the royal family.

Song Liang smiled at Lin Xiu and Qin Wan apologetically and said, “I should have set up a banquet to welcome you, but I know that you came to Ningshan Prefecture for an important mission and it is not appropriate to be too ostentatious. After your mission is completed, I will definitely do my best to be a good host…”

Lin Xiu smiled and said, “No problem.”

Song Liang held out his hand to them and said, “Please follow me. The other adults have arrived two days ago. I will take you to meet them…”

This time, Lin Xiu and Qin Wan were not the main force in the crackdown on the Tiandao League.

They were actually gilded, and they also had the purpose of training and accumulating experience. The court has poured too many resources into the cultivation of the people in the Tianziyuan. Of course, they hope that after they grow up, they can serve the country more.

Let them hone their skills first, and they will be able to stand on their own in the future.

When Lin Xiu and A Ke met for the first time, she heard her say that she and a dozen brothers from the Tiandao League were almost wiped out by Zhao Lingjun two years ago.

Zhao Lingjun’s current strength is undoubtedly at the upper level of the Earth Rank.

Two years ago, she was also at the peak of the lower level of the Earth Rank.

With her ability, if she really wanted to, A Ke and the dozen or so people from the Tiandao League would probably not be able to escape.

So Lin Xiu can be sure that she must have let him go at that time.

After knowing each other for so long, Lin Xiu has some understanding of Zhao Lingjun.

She is a person who is good in every way except that she is not a good wife. Her

talent, appearance, figure, family background, are all the best, and she is also kind-hearted.

Of course, if Lin Xiu lets her choose, she will still choose Qin Wan.

In the past, he was the one who flirted with others, but when he was with Qin Wan, he could feel the pleasure of being flirted.

No wonder so many people love bad women, because they really can do it.

Led by the prefect of Ningshan, Lin Xiu and Qin Wan soon met several other strong men who were involved in this operation.

Song Liang introduced them, “These two are Mr. Lin and Miss Qin from Kyoto. You can get to know each other.”

Several people bowed to Lin Xiu and Qin Wan and spoke one by one.

“Jin Tai.” A strong man bowed to Lin Xiu and said, “Mr. Lin, I have heard of your name for a long time.”

A middle-aged man beside him clasped his fists slightly and said, “Lv Fang.”

“Zhuang

Yan.” “Huang Xian.”

“Wei Jing.”

Although the five people did not report their strength, Lin Xiu knew before he came that except for him and Qin Wan, the other people were all earth-level.

Among them, the man named Jin Tai put a lot of pressure on Lin Xiu. His strength should have been close to the peak of the lower realm of the earth level, while the middle-aged man named Lv Fang gave Lin Xiu a sense of suppression. His ability should be water.

After getting to know each other, Lin Xiu took the initiative to ask, “What’s the situation in the city now?”

The other few people didn’t speak. The man named Zhuang Yan said with a smile, “You just arrived. Let me tell you about the mission. According to reliable information, the gathering time of the Tiandao League rebels is three days later. Some of them should have entered the city now, but we don’t know. In order not to alert the enemy, we can’t search for them. We only need to raid their gathering place in three days, and we can catch them all in one fell swoop…”

This operation is very simple.

The people of the Tiandao League don’t know that their actions have been exposed yet. If nothing unexpected happens, their gathering will proceed as usual, and what Lin Xiu and his team have to do is to wait and see, and close the net at the right time.

After Zhuang Yan spoke, the man surnamed Jin said, “You’d better keep a low profile these days. These rebels of the Tiandao League are very careful in their actions. Once they notice something wrong, we may fail. At that time, no one can bear the responsibility…”

Lin Xiu nodded and said, “Understood.”

After a discussion, they determined the time of action and the things that should be paid attention to. Everyone dispersed. Only the man named Zhuang Yan stayed and said to Lin Xiu with a smile, “Mr. Lin, before I came, Duke Xue told me to take care of you. Although this action is not too dangerous, those rebels are desperate and desperate. You should be careful. It’s best to hide behind us and don’t get too close…”

Lin Xiu was slightly moved when he heard this.

No wonder this strange Earth-level strongman treated him so well. It turned out that it was arranged by Duke Xue.

Although he usually glared at Lin Xiu and guarded him like a thief, he still cared for him at critical moments, more like an elder with a hard mouth and a soft heart.

After meeting with everyone, not long after, Lin Xiu and Qin Wan left the government office and returned hand in hand.

At present, even Ningshan Mansion and these strong men do not know the whereabouts of the Tiandao League.

There are not many strong men in the Tiandao League. For so many years, they have not been wiped out by the court. Naturally, they have some means to avoid being hunted down.

Some of them should have entered the city, but no one knows their identities. Perhaps, the one who just passed by them is the leader of a branch of the Tiandao League.

When passing by the street just now, the little girl was no longer there. She should have gone to take care of her father’s funeral.

Lin Xiu and Qin Wan returned to the inn. At this time, in an alley somewhere in Ningshan City, two men blocked a pitiful little girl at the end of the alley and said with a smile: “Little girl, hand over the silver obediently, so as not to hurt you later…”

Under their coercion, the little girl showed despair on her face and kept retreating until she retreated to the wall, and then she had to stop.

Looking at the two people approaching her, the despair on her face slowly disappeared, revealing a lazy expression, and said: “I won’t pretend anymore, it’s boring…”

After the voice fell, she glanced at the two people indifferently.

The two people trembled, their eyes rolled back in an instant, and they fell softly to the ground.

She walked over slowly, searched the two people, found a few pieces of silver, put them in her arms, kicked them a few times in annoyance, and pouted: “Poor guy, you only have this little money…”

Then, she leaned against the wall and murmured: “I don’t know if Sister A Ke has come. It’s so boring to be alone…”

At this time, a woman’s voice suddenly came from the empty wall: “This gathering is not for you to play.”

The girl was stunned for a moment, then looked at the wall with joy and said: “Sister A Ke, you are here, I will tell you something interesting, I lied to them again this time and said that my father died, and I met a very kind and beautiful sister, and a good-looking little brother. They gave me 20 taels of silver, which can buy a lot of candied haws. I will treat you to candied haws, please don’t tell my father…”
