Chapter 22 Dog Officer!

From noon to noon, there are few people in Ranfang Street.

Ye Jingtang led his horse back to Shuanggui Lane, thinking about how to catch the 'Wingless Owl' along the way. The old alleyway is very quiet, and you can hear the birdsong from the depths:
"Cuckoo~..."

Walking outside the courtyard wall, I stood on tiptoe to check. There were a few more belongings in the clean and tidy courtyard, and the melon stand in the far corner was rebuilt.

The beautiful young woman in Tsing Yi gathered her skirt to her legs, squatted under the melon stand, and dug a small hole by the wall with a small hoe.

The young woman already had a graceful figure, and the posture of squatting down with her skirt drawn made a full moon-like fullness appear under her waist that was hugging Yingying.

The fluffy white 'winged owl' diligently picked up the seeds from the small cloth bag next to the young woman, jumped to the small hole dug out and put them down, and then made a silly look of 'whether the bird is good or not', Zhang Open the beak to beg for food.

"What do you plant? Bitter melon?"

Seeing Ye Jingtang come back, Luo Ning put down the small hoe and came to the gate of the courtyard, paying attention to the movement at the entrance of the alley:
"Go to Heiya today, how is the investigation going?"

This reaction was because Zheyunli was not at home, if Luo Ning didn't pay attention to the outside, the thief would pull her into the house with the sound of footsteps.

Ye Jingtang was a little funny, took a small bench from the kitchen, and sat under the eaves:

"It went well, I met Qiu Tianhe."

Luo Ning's alert face froze slightly, suspicion appeared in his eyes, and he did not approach.

But after Ye Jingtang described Qiu Tianhe's appearance, her expression turned into surprise, she came outside the eaves and asked:
"How did you meet Qiu Tianhe? Hei Ya let you into the dungeon so easily?"

Ye Jingtang put a small bench beside him:

"I am a good citizen with a clean foundation and good sword skills. It is convenient for me to go to the lord of the yamen and see the heroes of the rivers and lakes. It is reasonable and reasonable. What's the problem? Come and sit down and talk."

"..."

Luo Ning glanced at the small benches placed together, hesitated for a while, came to the front, moved the bench a few minutes away before sitting down, let Niao Niao squat in the middle, and asked softly:
"How is Qiu Tianhe's situation?"

"I was locked up on the second floor of Mingyu Tower, not to mention the iron locks and iron fences, and I was also poisoned by cartilage incense. I guess I didn't even have the strength to get up. As for rescue, don't even think about it. It is more difficult to sneak into a dungeon than It's too big to directly assassinate Prince Jing, I guess no one in the world can do it."

Luo Ning showed a sad look between her brows: "Of course I know that the chance is not great, Qiu Tianhe has saved Yun Li's life, if he ignores it, Yun Li will feel guilty for it for the rest of his life, alas..."

Ye Jingtang smiled: "But it's not impossible."

"Huh?" Luo Ning's eyes were surprised: "Can you save someone?"

Ye Jingtang nodded, but did not say directly, but looked at Luo Ning:

"This is a matter of losing your head. Don't you have to be sincere when Lady Luo asks me to help?"

?

Luo Ning sat up a little bit, touched the soft sword at her waist, her eyes were slightly cold:

"Ye Jingtang, I think your nature is not bad, so you didn't kill you because of what happened last time. If you don't know the seriousness, you want to make an inch of it, and want to use it as a threat..."

Ye Jingtang shook his head: "I don't have any extravagant thoughts, just answer a few questions for me."

"what is the problem?"

"Luo Xia, are you married?"

Luo Ning's charming face was sullen, and she said in a deep voice: "Married! I have been married for many years, and everyone in the world knows about it."

"You don't even know how to hug a man, and you don't even know how to bark. How can you be married? I feel like you're still a child..."

chap——

Before he finished speaking, the gleaming sword pointed at his neck.

Luo Ning's face was flushed by the foul language:

"When you are married, you are married. The word 'love' is the key to a husband and wife. What does it have to do with whether you have done that kind of thing? If you continue to speak such obscene words, I will cut off your tongue!"

I haven't done it... It seems that it is indeed a baby...

Ye Jingtang's eyes were quite strange, and he pushed Jianfeng away:

"Your husband is really reckless. Could it be that your husband has been injured and can't do his best?"

Luo Ning pointed her sword back and glared at Ye Jingtang:
"Can you control it? Do you think that everyone is like you, only thinking about a woman's body, and having sex after getting married? Master Yunli is more respectful to me, much more decent than you, and She looks better than you, and her martial arts are higher than yours..."

???

Ye Jingtang really didn't know where to complain about such outrageous words, held back for a long time, but said inexplicably:
"Why do you compare me with your man? Do you want to make me jealous?"

Luo Ning opened her mouth, feeling that there was something wrong with her words, so she changed the subject:
"Don't talk about these things that damage your reputation! What can you do to save Qiu Tianhe?"

Ye Jingtang stopped bickering with Luo Nvxia, and took out a wanted notice from his arms:
"I went to Heiya today. Because I was handsome and good at swordsmanship, Prince Jing took a fancy to him. He asked me to find a chance to learn Qiu Tianhe's swordsmanship and teach it to King Jing. To learn martial arts, it is natural to keep human feelings in mind. Let me be a treacherous villain, King Jing can make an exception and let Qiu Tianhe out of the dungeon to retire in the capital, but the price is that I will have to work for the court in the future."

After Luo Ning listened quietly, she frowned secretly—Prince Jing's condition seemed open-minded, but it was actually quite cunning.

Ask Ye Jingtang to learn the sword technique, and then serve as an heir to the imperial court, in exchange for the opportunity to release Qiu Tianhe from the dungeon.

As long as Ye Jingtang complies, Ye Jingtang and Qiu Tianhe will have a bond of love.

In order to prevent Ye Jingtang from being implicated, Qiu Tianhe would not leave the capital for the rest of his life even if he had no shackles on his body, which is equivalent to an 'immortal prisoner'.

And Ye Jingtang, if he values ​​love and righteousness, in order to ensure that Qiu Tian will not be guillotined, he can only do his best for the court.

One condition, to tie the two of them to death, King Jing didn't pay any price, and even took Qiu Tianhe's saber technique for nothing...

After thinking for a moment, Luo Ning said coldly:

"These dog officials are really treacherous... If you agree, won't you become a lackey of the court?"

Ye Jingtang shrugged slightly: "I am a good citizen, it is an honor to be valued by the imperial court, and I can learn a set of saber techniques for nothing, how can I be called a lackey of the imperial court?"

"..."

Luo Ning thinks about it too, Ye Jingtang is different from her, not a traitor, it seems that there is no harm in accepting this condition, but...

"You are very talented, and you will always be under others in your official career. You will be a low-level official at most for half your life; but when it comes to the world, with your talent and my connections, I can guarantee that you will rise to the top and become an official." The overlord who will play an important role in the world in the future..."

Ye Jingtang looked at Luo Ning who was trying to pull him into the team, and asked with a smile:

"Do Xia Luo want to save Qiu Tianhe, or do you want me to hang out with you in the future?"

I want……

Luo Ning hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly:
"If you go on this step, you will break the rivers and lakes. In the future, the court will use Qiu Tianhe as a threat to force you not to disobey the court. Even if you want to work for the court, you and I are strangers, because of Yunli's matter. You put on such a shackle as Qiu Tianhe, I...I really can't agree to it calmly."

Ye Jingtang pulled a small bench and sat a few minutes closer:

"If Lady Luo feels that she owes something, she can find a way to make it up to me."

?

Luo Ning's feeling of emotion disappeared in an instant, and she held the sword hilt at her waist, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly cold:

"What do you want?"

"I want to learn Kung Fu. What does Xia Luo think?"

i thought you wanted me to...

Luo Ning's complexion softened a bit:

"If you really want to help Yunli save the hero, so what if I pass on my kung fu to you. But from now on, you are in the court, and I am in the rivers and lakes, and we will part ways... Sigh~"

I didn't say anything later, but there are too many similar things in the arena.

They used to be like brothers, but because one was loyal and the other was chivalrous, they had to face each other with swords and swords, and the reconciliation had to wait until Jiuquan.

This is undoubtedly the saddest thing in the Jianghu. No one is wrong, but there is nothing they can do.

Luo Ning once had such an old friend, who was originally in love with sisters, but since she joined the Pingtian Sect, she has become a stranger who never gets in touch with each other.

No matter how she feels about Ye Jingtang, being under the same roof now is fate, so how can she not be worried that the two of them will also fall into this worrying situation in the future.

Ye Jingtang didn't think too much about it, seeing Luo Ning's sentimentality, he comforted her:
"Being in love with each other is worse than forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes. If Xia Luo can get what she wants, I also have a bright future. Why worry about the future."

"If one day, you and I meet again in another river and lake, you are already in a high position, and I am still a thief..."

"Then I hope Nuxia Luo can take good care of her. If Xiaxia Luo is as peerless as she is today, I will definitely not destroy it with my hands."

?

Luo Ning's thoughts of hurting the spring and the autumn were wiped out by this sentence - if you don't destroy the flower with your hands, you are greedy for beauty, and you want to capture her back as a slave and concubine, but how can you waste your energy on training?
For the Jianghu women, it would be better to die!

Luo Ning's face darkened, and she cursed softly:
"Officer Dog, I won't let you get what you want even if I die."

Ye Jingtang laughed twice, stopped flirting, and signaled for the arrest warrant:
"If you want to be appreciated by King Jing, you have to do an errand to prove your ability. Is there any way for Lady Luo to catch the wingless owl?"

Luo Ning withdrew her cold eyes and looked at the wanted warrant carefully:
"Wingless Owl... This person is quite famous, and I am afraid that his lightness skill is not inferior to mine. Without any information, how can he be arrested with just a wanted warrant?"

Ye Jingtang was also worried about this matter, thought for a while and said:

"The Wingless Owl steals Yungong to learn lightness kung fu, but after he succeeds, he not only does not keep a low profile as a thief, but also publicizes it everywhere, making his current reputation, which shows that he is just like ordinary people in the world, he has a good reputation and does not want Jinyi. Nocturnal."

Luo Ning understood the meaning: "Since you have a good reputation, you must care about your reputation. People in the Jianghu are most jealous of someone using their own name to deceive and ruin their reputation. You are risking your reputation as a 'wingless owl' by doing something unworthy. The uglier the sound, the better, and it will stir up the rumors in the world. The Wingless Owl acts in a low-key manner in the capital, and it must be dissatisfied to hear that someone impersonated and made things worse..."

Ye Jingtang nodded: "If I were a wingless owl, and I heard something similar to the wind, I would most likely figure out the whole story. Even if I guessed it was a bait from the government, I would come over to see what tricks the court is up to. As long as he moves Now, I have a chance to catch people."

Luo Ning felt that the possibility of this move was very high, and asked:
"You are quite cunning and cunning. What are you going to steal, blow the wind, and lure the snake out of the hole?"

Ye Jingtangchun took it as a compliment and shrugged slightly:

"Stolen things are worth money, so that outsiders will believe that I am a wingless owl, and will talk about it privately and spread the matter. Second, the reputation of the stolen things must be bad, so that the wingless owl will not just laugh at this 'reputation'. I don't care. It's better to wash away the suspicion of 'the government's bait'. I'm also worrying, does Luo Xia have any good ideas?"

Luo Ningzheng thought for a long time, and tentatively asked:
"Hmm... the queen's gold silk apron?"

What? !

Ye Jingtang's expression froze.

Stealing Prince Jing's bellyband can indeed be done at the same time - it is priceless, idlers talk about it, the wingless owl is ashamed to be with him, and the suspicion of being baited by the government is cleared.

But how did he get this thing?Do not die?
"Are you kidding me? Wingless Owl can't even get his hands on this thing. Even if I didn't steal it, if I came to borrow it in the name of investigating the case, King Jing would have to cut me alive... Luo Xia, you can't kill someone with a borrowed knife ?”

Luo Ning knew that this was a bad idea, so she frowned and said:

"I'm not a burglar, how would I know what to steal to be shameful? You help the yamen handle the case, and the government should prepare this kind of thing for you. You can't really steal it yourself, can you?"

Ye Jingtang smiled: "Actually, the idea of ​​the gold silk bellyband is quite good, but I can't borrow it... I'll go to Heiya and ask..."
